All in One Floor Heating Kit with 51 sq ft Cable, 77 sq ft PEEL & STICK INSULATED DUO Membrane, Touchscreen Programmable Thermostat (120V)
Description
This DITRA-HEAT Kit contains everything you need to install a complete floor heating system:
• 1 Spool of DITRA-HEAT Cable (DHEHK12051) – Warms 51 sq ft
• 1 DHERT102/BW Programmable Thermostat (touchscreen)
• 2 Sensor Wires inside cable spool box
• 9 DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS Insulated Peel & Stick Membrane Sheets – Covers 77 sq ft
DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS – Peel & Stick installation with sound control & a thermal break that ensures a faster warm-up time for your floor, especially over concrete..
Now installation is even easier without thin-set under the mat. To install, peel the release film off DITRA-HEAT-PS/-DUO-PS and place the membrane on the substrate. It can be lifted and re-positioned providing no pressure has been applied to it. However, once pressure has been applied the adhesive sticks the membrane firmly to the substrate. The heating cables can be installed immediately after adhering the membrane to the subfloor.
Reduced heat loss to the substrate for up to 70% faster heat-up times over concrete when your floor heating thermostat activates the heating cables in DUO.
Cables easily snap into place wherever heat is desired, which significantly reduces installation time and effort.
Since this eliminates any height differences, simply place self-leveler over the top for a perfectly level flooring installation.
The DUO membrane also provides integrated sound control which reduces impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies, reduces heat loss to the substrate, and improves floor warming response time, making it ideal for multi-story homes, condos, and apartments.

DITRA-HEAT by Schluter-Systems integrates electric floor warming with the functions associated with DITRA: uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and support to ensure a long-lasting installation under tile or stone floors.
All the benefits at a glance:
✔ Quick – No mixing and spreading mortar underneath – Immediately load bearing after installation
✔ Sound Control plus Thermal break insulation – the premium membrane in the industry
✔ Easy – Peel off the adhesive liner and set the membrane in place. Easily repositioned during installation until pressure is exerted on the top
✔ Great for small projects
✔ Waterproof if you seal the joints and edges with KERDI-Band
✔ Available in Sheets and Rolls
• Combines the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems.
**• Cables can be snapped into place wherever heat is desired, which significantly reduces installation time and effort.****
**• For optimal performance with difficult-to-bond-to substrates, use Schluter®-PRIMER-U or another suitable primer.**
******• Tile directly over DUO or pour****** ******self-leveler over the top to install alternate floor coverings******
* Engineered Wood, floating or glued-down
* Laminate
* Luxury Vinyl Tile & Plank (LVT/LVP)
* Vinyl
* WPC or Wood Plastic Composite core flooring
* SPC or Stone Plastic Composite core flooring
* Waterproof your installation with KERDI-BAND (sold separately); cover all joints, seams, and corners of the membrane to completely waterproof the installation before applying thin-set and tile.
* Note : The Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS membrane does not comply with the requirements specified in ANSI A118.10 — American National Standard Specifications for Load Bearing, Bonded, Waterproof Membranes for Thin-set Ceramic Tile and Dimension Stone Installation. For applications requiring membrane compliance with or certification to the ANSI A118.10, select the DITRA-HEAT-DUO membrane that is installed with thin-set mortar. Alternatively, the DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS membrane may be covered with the Schluter(R)-KERDI membrane, which is certified to meet ANSI A118.10.
