DITRA-Heat Radiant Floor Heating
Warm tile floors for Tampa Bay bathrooms — engineered, waterproofed, and installed correctly the first time by a Schluter-certified owner-operator.
What Is DITRA-Heat?
DITRA-HEAT is Schluter's all-in-one system that combines an uncoupling membrane with an electric heating cable in a single layer. The orange membrane bonds to your subfloor and its stud pattern holds the heating cable exactly where it belongs — no bulky mats, no self-leveling pour required.
That uncoupling layer is the secret. It separates the tile from the subfloor so natural movement never transfers up into your finished floor, preventing cracked tile and failed grout while distributing heat evenly across the surface. It works over both wood and concrete subfloors.
- Uncoupling membrane + heating cable in one layer
- Prevents cracked tile and grout from subfloor movement
- Even, consistent heat across the whole floor
- Installs over wood or concrete subfloors
The Comfort Upgrade That Protects Your Floor
Warm Floors, Year-Round
No more stepping onto cold tile. DITRA-HEAT delivers gentle, even warmth across the entire floor — perfect for Tampa Bay mornings and cool winter nights.
Uncoupling Protection
The membrane separates your tile from the subfloor, absorbing movement that would otherwise crack tile and grout. Heat and crack protection in one layer.
Fast, Programmable Heat
A programmable touchscreen thermostat warms the floor on your schedule and heats up quickly, so you only use energy when you actually want it.
Adds Real Resale Value
Heated floors are a sought-after luxury upgrade that sets your bathroom apart and adds tangible value to your remodel investment.
Set It Once, Warm On Your Schedule
Every heated floor we install is paired with a Schluter programmable touchscreen thermostat — including the newer smart model that connects to Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa so you can control your floor from your phone or voice.
The DITRA-HEAT touchscreen thermostat with floor sensor — set a daily schedule or adjust the temperature by hand any time.
The DITRA-HEAT-E-RS1 smart thermostat connects to Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa, with app control from anywhere.
Most Installers Aren't Schluter Certified
Schluter-Certified installers are trained directly by Schluter on exactly how these systems go together — proper membrane placement, correct heating-cable spacing, and how the heat layer integrates with waterproofing. Get any of it wrong and you risk cold spots, cracked tile, or a system that fails early.

How We Install Your Warm Floor
Subfloor Preparation
We inspect, clean, and flatten the subfloor — wood or concrete — so the membrane bonds correctly and the finished floor sits perfectly level.
DITRA-HEAT Membrane + Cable Layout
The uncoupling membrane is bonded down and the electric heating cable is set into its stud pattern at the correct spacing for even, consistent warmth.
Electrical Connection & Thermostat
A licensed connection ties the system into a GFCI-protected circuit with a programmable thermostat and floor sensor for precise control.
Tile Installation
Tile is set directly over the membrane using proper mortar coverage and TCNA methods for a crack-free, long-lasting finish.
System Test & Walkthrough
We verify the system, program your thermostat, and walk you through operation so your warm floor works flawlessly from day one.
