Tile and ditra mat thickness

Featured Replies

We are about to get our floor screeded with cemfloor liquid screed. 
So that we can get our levels exactly right for bifolds etc, what allowance should I give for the following floor make up?

 

9/10mm porcelain tile

adhesive

ditra mat

adhesive

55-65mm screed

 

We can tweak the screed thickness to make sure we are at the right height, but unsure on thicknesses etc.

 

Thanks

I seem to recall @nod saying ditra mat and glue is 6mm and tile adhesive is the same thickness as the tiles. So if you’re going for 9mm tiles I’d suggest 25mm for floor makeup. 
 

I’m sure there are many threads on this very topic if you search so you can double check what others say.
