Tim lapse of a Large format porcelain tile installed on Schluter Ditra Heat, start to finish. T-Lock was used as a lippage system, also known as  a leveling system to install the tile to reduce or eliminate lippage.  Ditra Heat is a floor warming system made by Schluter, it is a three component system consisting of the Ditra Mat, the cable system and the thermostat, it comes in both 120, and 240 volt. The Ditra mat for the Ditra heat is configured in such a way that the heat wire can be easily inserted and routed through the mat to heat the desired areas, in this case the whole floor was heated, but can also be used to heat different zones. The Ditra mat is installed the same way as the regular Ditra uncoupling membrane, and serves the same function with the added capability of accepting the heat wire. One important difference is that a ¼” square notched trowel is used to spread the thinset instead of the regular Ditra trowel. Once the mat has been installed, the wire can be routed into the mat. The heating cable must be placed no closer than 3” from the wall, and 8” from a heat source, (Hot are vent, base board heat, etc.). The cable and probes must be tested with the appropriate meters before they installed, after they have been placed in the mat, and after the tile has been installed to retain the warranty. All the directions are included with the system.
The T-Lock leveling System, is a tile leveling system designed for the installation of all kinds of tiles from 12”x12” and larger. This system is a wedge type system designed to be used without the aid of any tools; however a pliers tightening tool can be used for those that prefer to. The base plates come with automatic spacers built-in for different size grout widths, 1/32”, 1/16” and 1/8”. The bases are inserted around the corners of a tile and then the wedge is slid in to bring the tiles into plain. Once the tile has set the wedges can be removed with a rubber mallet hitting the bases in the direction of the grout lines, on floor they can simple be kicked with a foot if you like. The wedges are reusable and should be collected for use in future tile installations.
