Ditra Tile Underlayment

New and noteworthy staff picks from the 2007 International Builders' Show

Length: 3:25
Produced By: Gary Junken

Fine Homebuilding Publisher Tim Schreiner liked the looks of a new tile underlayment from Schluter Systems: “Their new product called Ditra seems to make floor tile setting a lot more jerk proof (editor's note: we hope Schreiner is referring to creaky floors). The video really does a good job of showing how to use the product.”
