The low assembly height of Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT makes it a perfect choice for retrofitting in existing structures.
How is Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-E used?
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E is designed for installation in walls and floors, where it is used for targeted surface heating. What's more, Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E offers additional functions that are indispensable for high-quality tile and stone coverings. Thus, the system protects floors against permeating moisture, prevents the transfer of cracks into the covering, and guarantees direct load transfer as well as neutralising uncoupling to keep your wall and floor coverings beautiful for a long time. Due to the crack-bridging properties of the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling mat, the heating system is suitable for use with critical substrates such as wood structures and green screeds.
Certified waterproofing assembly. Approved for wet rooms.
Choose verified quality: Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E is also certified for bonded waterproofing with the national technical approval (abP) required in Germany. This additionally integrated function offers maximum reliability for contractors when installing the intelligent system: DITRA-HEAT-E, which features national technical approval with certificate no. P-66821401.201 for installation area A, as well as the bonded uncoupling mat Schlüter-DITRA are suitable for use in bathrooms and other wet rooms.

With Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E, Schlüter-Systems has developed a unique thin-layer heating system for the easy, customised and targeted heating of specific surfaces.
In contrast to conventional heating mats, the cables of the DITRA-HEAT-E system are individually installed in the uncoupling mat. Due to the use of thin-set technology, the electric floor heating system also works in places where warm-water floor heating systems are not an option for structural reasons.
A true multi-talent, which creates warm tiles wherever a system assembly in a minimal height is needed. The patented DITRA technology also guarantees reliable uncoupling and a crack-free floor. You can look forward to pleasantly warm tiles wherever YOU would like heat. Including on critical substrates, such as wooden floors!
Especially slim and responsive
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E has become synonymous with electric floor heating systems worldwide: tradesmen love the easy installation, designers are inspired by its flexible uses, and homeowners enjoy the pleasant and responsive warmth of their floors.
Here is how heating with a thin-set system works:
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E is comprised of an uncoupling mat and a heating cable (joint assembly height only 5.5 mm), which are combined directly on site. This results in an integrated heating mat. The areas to be heated can be individually defined to match any floor blueprint. DITRA-HEAT-E is the perfect choice for retrofitting and renovations.
Convenient complete sets
Your retailer offers a selection of convenient complete sets for common room sizes. The sets include the following components:
- Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-MA uncoupling mats
- Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables
- Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-E-R thermostat
The sets comprise all required components to install your floor and wall heating system in one convenient package.

The new Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-DUO is the right solution wherever heat is needed quickly and for a short time. For example, a highly responsive system with great efficiency is needed in a bathroom, which is only used at certain hours in the morning and at night. The system creates warm areas in defined comfort zones on short notice, for example in front of the vanity.
The additional, 2 mm fleece acts as a thermal barrier: the bulk (over 80%) of the heat is channeled directly toward the top into the floor covering in the heat-up phase, which makes the tangible heat effect much faster and energy-efficient.
Up to 13 dB impact sound insulation
The fleece component of the uncoupling mat not only improves the heat-up response, but also ensures a significant reduction in impact sound transfer: An independent testing Institute has confirmed an impact sound reduction of up to 13 dB for the uncoupling mat.
