Payment & Security
What payment methods do you accept?
We welcome all major debit and credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. You can find a comprehensive list at the bottom of our website. Additionally, we offer convenient payment options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay for faster transactions during checkout.
I can see a pending transaction in my bank account, but no order?
For security reasons, it's essential that the billing address associated with your card matches the one provided at checkout. If there is a discrepancy between the billing address on your card and the one you entered, your transaction may not be authorised and the payment will fail.
In such cases, your bank may hold the funds as a 'pending transaction', but some may show them as a regular transaction. How long the transactions are held for depends on your bank. Typically these transactions are reversed within 24 hours, but may take up to 5 working days.
If you reattempt checkout with the correct billing details, you won't be charged again, but your transaction will be authorised and your order will processed.
How do you prevent fraudulent activities?
Our commitment to preventing fraud and ensuring the safety of our business and customers leads us to employ an extra layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions. All successfully authorised payments undergo authentication using 3D Secure. It's important to note that your credit card number is neither stored nor accessible during or after the processing of your order, enhancing the security of your transactions.
Product Description
Schluter-DITRA 25 Uncoupling Mat
The Schlüter-DITRA 25 Uncoupling Mat, known for its unparalleled functional versatility, has been tried, tested, and trusted worldwide. This high-quality uncoupling mat provides waterproofing, uncoupling, vapour pressure equalisation, load transfer, and heat distribution when installed under tiles. At European Heritage Ltd, we continually innovate our products, and the DITRA mat is no exception, now in its third version with enhanced features for easier installation.
Product Features
- EasyCut gridlines for quicker and more precise cutting
- EasyFill design with integrated air release vents for better air circulation
- Square, dovetailed recesses for improved adhesive spread and lock
- Anchoring fleece laminated to the underside for better bonding
Technical Specifications
The Schluter-DITRA mat is a polypropylene membrane with a fleece fabric underside. It is installed using a cementitious tile adhesive applied with a notched trowel. The mat is embedded into the adhesive, creating a strong bond that transfers mechanical stresses directly to the substrate, ensuring the durability of the tile covering.
Uncoupling
The Schlüter-DITRA mat uncouples the tile covering from the substrate, neutralising stresses caused by substrate deformations. It bridges tension cracks and prevents them from affecting the tile covering.
Waterproofing
Schlüter-DITRA is a waterproof membrane with a high water vapour diffusion seal, creating a bonded waterproofing assembly with the tile covering when properly installed.
Vapour Pressure Equalisation
The open air channels on the underside of Schlüter-DITRA allow for vapour pressure equalisation in case of moisture impact from below.
Load Distribution
The adhesive-filled recesses in the DITRA mat transfer mechanical stresses directly to the substrate, making the tile coverings especially durable. It is suitable for high-stress areas and commercial applications.
Bonded Assembly
The anchoring fleece on the underside of the DITRA mat bonds with the cementitious tile adhesive, creating a strong connection between the tile assembly and the substrate. This makes it suitable for both wall and floor installations.
Installation Guide
Preparation
- Ensure the substrate is level, load-bearing, and free of components that may inhibit bonding.
- Select an appropriate adhesive for the substrate. The adhesive must bond with the substrate and the DITRA anchoring fleece.
- Apply the adhesive with a notched trowel (recommended size: 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm).
Installation
- Cut the DITRA membrane to size and embed it into the adhesive with the anchoring fleece facing down.
- Press the membrane into place using a float or roller, ensuring it lies flat and is tightly stretched.
- Protect the installed DITRA mat from mechanical stresses during the curing time of the adhesive.
- Immediately after adhering the DITRA mat, install the tiles using the thin-set method and a suitable cementitious tile adhesive.
- Ensure all tiles are solidly embedded in the adhesive, particularly in high-stress and outdoor areas.
Waterproofing with Schlüter-DITRA
To create a certified waterproofing assembly, ensure that abutting membrane joints and connections to structural elements are carefully sealed. Use Schlüter-KERDI products for joint sealing and waterproofing transitions.
