DITRA-HEAT-TB Schlüter
Following on from the hugely successful and award-winning, Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E electric underfloor and wall heating solution seemed an impossible task for Schlüter-Systems. However, the popular system recently saw the introduction of a new uncoupling mat, Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-TB, which has taken the product range from strength to strength.
The patented Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-TB features the integration of a thermal break fleece on the underside of the uncoupling membrane which allows 80% of the heat to rise to the surface for up to 70% faster response time.
A thermal break is an element within an assembly which reduces the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials. The thermal break in Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-TB ensures that the heat doesn't get lost, but is transferred directly to the floorcovering above.
This unique combination of fleece and matting allows an input of 136 W/m2 surface, reacting faster than 200 W/m2
, to push up to 110 W/m2 to other systems without a thermal break, which can lose 50% of their heat into the subfloor below.
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT is part of the Schlüter-DITRA family of mattings that feature uncoupling, crack-bridging, vapour management, load distribution, drainage and sound-reduction properties, which relieve stresses that occur between the substrate and covering to manage movement and prevent cracking and debonding of the tile or stone covering.
The quick installation makes it ideal for heated tile and stone coverings for both residential and commercial projects and naturally, the use is not limited to kitchens and bathrooms, floor and wall heating enhances the room climate of living, dining, and working spaces too.

DURALAY TIMBERMATE Interfloor
Interfloor’s British-manufactured specialist underlays for wood and laminate flooring offer some of the best noise reducing performance in the industry. The Duralay Timbermate range includes the best-selling sponge rubber brands Timbermate Excel and Silentfloor Gold, a premium underlay with an impressive 53 SONE rating, plus the more hardwearing Duratex.
Tests show that in-room acoustics can worsen if inferior or lightweight underlays are used with hard flooring; putting a lightweight, air-filled, cellular product under wood or laminate creates an echo chamber and more noise.
Timbermate underlays reduce in-room noise by 30% and independent tests prove the Timbermate productssignificantly reduce acoustic noise levels and all have achieved low SONE ratings.
Timbermate Excel is a 3.60mm gauge high density resilient rubber underlay; while the top end Silentfloor Gold is a 4.20mm gauge high density resilient rubber underlay. Both underlays feature Interfloor’s VapourStop membrane, eliminating the need for extra moisture barrier protection, and branded backing to help differentiate them from inferior copycat products. For installations where moisture is not an issue, Duratex is a heavy-duty 3.60mm gauge high density resilient rubber underlay that offers great performance and excellent value.
The Timbermate range is rated highly in the LEED programme and the products are fully recyclable at the end of their life. They also meet or exceed the industry standard for indoor air quality, as established by the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Green Label programme.
