The Ditra Mat is made from a polyethylene material which is strong, yet flexible, meaning it can be cut to fit any shape or size. It is also highly durable, making it perfect for use in areas that are subject to high levels of foot traffic. Additionally, the Ditra Mat is resistant to mould and mildew, making it ideal for use in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. This mat can be made completely waterproof when paired with kerdi waterproof membrane. 

For those looking for an even more advanced tiling solution, Schluter Systems also offers Ditra Heat and Ditra Duo. These are thicker versions of ditra which can be used to electric heating to a floor.
