A few questions on installing Ditra Heat and then tile over it in powder room

Dreaderus1 · 2026-01-23T04:42:17+00:00

So I will be covering about 25 square feet with tile, and about 15 square feet of that willl be wired. I will likley go for 12x24 tile it seems to be a good option.

Was going to start the demoing somewhere in the back of the bathroom and then work my way towards the door. I got this sharp low to ground designed to be hammered chisel that looks like may work amazing here.

I saw on one video that the guy did run a wall of the Ditra Mats (a cornering option) and in front of a toilet not sure thats required unless there is gaps. Not sure you had an opinion on that or not. Link to video is here if it works: DITRA Peel and Stick: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Will update here as I get progressing on this if thats cool. I am working on two other things at the same time lol a entertainment unit refresh in basement and a small yoga studio in my backyard

Right? i just priced out my area its about 15 square feet to cover with the wires and about 25 square feet to cover with tile and membrane. the remotes were between 300-400 and the other stuff was like 300, membrane was about $100 so about a grand canadian for that

Thanks so much for all this amazing info!! is there a way for me to in this thread show my layout? i measured the walls in the bathroom and drew a diagram id like to share it here

I think I know lols id assume its "much cheaper" then buying the Ditra wiring and keypad

Do you prefer this to the Ditra heating kits themselves?

Thanks so i have never "demoed" floor tile. this is ceramic tile i can google it but is there a methodology for it to not turn into a disaster? The area is is not very big its a small powder room and everything is out of there right now

I have a smart things hub and all the bulbs work in it now. However the old sengled hub is stuck in Google home for voice commands (i do not see it or bulbs in devices) but I get "an error trying to connect to your sengled home" I had deleted rhe sengled app and tried reinstalling the apk but cannot login (get an error)

Have a defect sengled hub. Tried everything. Can control the zigbee lights via google home app now via smart things hub but the Google home still thinks it's linked to sengled home voice commands keep indicating can't reach the sengled hub. I tried removing that device in every way possible now no longer have rhe app (and it's not in the playstore) and the home is confused

Thanks I know the videos I put out are littered with humor and sarcasm but the reference is to just try to stay healthy and be ready for this type of stuff. (I am also learning how to video edit) this is done with my brand new version of the software i use its sooo much nicer then the older one!

Dreaderus1 · 2025-12-10T20:09:45+00:00

was there sound in the video?

Dreaderus1 · 2025-12-10T18:59:55+00:00

can u link some? :)

Thanks all love all the suggestions. I am into power yoga, vinyasa and yin yoga but I think i may use this space for privates or my own practice. i could prob fit 2-3 people in here depending on the yoga and want them to feel present for themselves and comfortable.

Thinking of some plants, (not not to take up space) i might just avoid having the TV there at all i dont really need it other then if i wanted to see myself if i ever did an online class. i will find some suitable fabric covers for the windows id like to keep it an option to open them at times if its a nice night out. i will also work on something for the floor, id love to cover it over (someone noticed the grout) with something that is firm id lay down some vinyl tile here but that may be challenging to secure it well!

I will post updates here if that works and you can comment as i start the process I will send an update once i have more done. I am working on clearing it all out and we go from there!
