Schluter DITRA HEAT DHEKRT12056 37.5 SF120V KIT Includes Touchscreen Programmable Thermostat,Heating cable, Ditra Heat sheets, 2 Floor sensors

The Ditra system is really pricey (although the price on Amazon was excellent, Home Depot wants almost 50 % more money for exactly the same set), but Schluter, called Schlüter in Germany, where they have had a stellar reputation for years, is the perfect example of a German quality product: sturdy material, brilliant engineering, precise execution and sophisticated function (not to mention slightly over-abundant product information…). The price as a set, by the way, is still much cheaper than buying the components individually. The thermostat alone in the programmable touchscreen version is over $200! My contractor was very favorably impressed by the system, which he did not know, and said there is no comparison with some flimsy alternatives available on the market, Be aware, though, that the system will not cover the whole surface of a very large bathroom. Mine is just a bit over 90 sqft, and after deducting the footprint of the tub, shower, toilet bowl and vanity + a stripe roughly 8” wide along the walls, it covered what was left almost exactly. Please take into account, by the way, that if you lay tiles over the whole surface, as one usually does, you will need additional mats without wiring to achieve a consistent height. So you will have to buy some extra mat material (which is not cheap for what it is) on Amazon, eBay, or at a DIY store that carries the product (be aware that it must be Ditra Heat; the normal Ditra decoupling membrane is cheaper, but thinner).

Easy to install. Works as described. What all building products should be.

Not too tricky to install before you put your floor down. It’s a little sluggish heating up but the touch screen is intuitive and easy to read.

My husband installed this in our bathroom underneath our new waterproof flooring he installed. I didnt really think it was necessary. I am glad he didnt listen to me! It is so nice to walk into the bathroom and fill the warm floor! Works wonderfully! The programmable thermostat is so easy to set up, so you when you know you do not need to have the floor warming (while you are at work) it is off! Love it!

easy to install. Watch youtube videos for details.

I am a DIY homeowner who installed this under a new tile floor. I found the installation to be rather straight forward. Hooked up the thermostat and everything worked. Warm floors are nice.

Due to the bit of bounce the Ditra mat has, it unfortunately causes some tiles to crack. I recommend using larger or thicker tiles for this product. Important detail.

Nice system with everything you need for a heated floor. Installed this in my kitchen and now I have a nice warm floor. Easy to install and good videos from the company online to help you successfully install. This was a 100% DIY project and so far it works great. Make sure of the square footage of your area. This kit allowed me to heat the main work area of my kitchen floor that is over a cold crawl space.
