At Legacy Interior Services, we’re committed to delivering durable, high-quality tile installations tailored to the unique challenges of North Florida’s humid climate. That’s why we proudly use Schluter®-DITRA and DITRA-XL uncoupling membranes on all our bathroom projects. These innovative polyethylene membranes provide superior waterproofing, ensuring your floors stay protected from moisture intrusion, leaks, and everyday wear. Whether you’re renovating a cozy master bath or updating a guest powder room, our Schluter® systems guarantee long-lasting results that stand up to Florida’s steamy conditions.
Why Schluter®-DITRA is the Gold Standard for Bathroom Tile Installations
Schluter®-DITRA and its larger-format counterpart, DITRA-XL, are engineered specifically for wet areas like bathrooms. They combine uncoupling technology with bonded waterproofing to create a reliable barrier that safeguards your investment. Here’s why homeowners in Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and beyond trust DITRA for their projects:
- Superior Waterproofing Protection: DITRA forms a monolithic waterproof layer that seals out moisture, preventing water from reaching vulnerable substrates like plywood or OSB. This is crucial in humid North Florida, where excess humidity can lead to mold, rot, or warping over time.
- Uncoupling for Crack Prevention: By allowing the tile assembly to move independently from the subfloor, DITRA absorbs stress from substrate shifts, thermal expansion, or settling—reducing the risk of cracks in your beautiful tile and grout lines.
- Vapor Management: The membrane’s fleece-backed design channels vapor away from the tile, promoting a healthier bathroom environment and minimizing condensation issues common in steamy showers and tubs.
- Enhanced Durability and Load Distribution: Virtually incompressible, DITRA distributes heavy loads evenly across the floor, supporting everything from freestanding tubs to high-traffic family bathrooms without compromising integrity.
- Versatile for Any Subfloor: Compatible with wood, concrete, or existing tile, DITRA-XL extends coverage for larger areas or wider joist spacing (up to 24″ on centers), making it ideal for custom North Florida remodels.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: Our certified installers apply DITRA quickly with thin-set mortar, creating a low-profile, seamless base that speeds up your project timeline while ensuring a lifetime of low-maintenance beauty.
