Schluter DITRA HEAT DHEKRT12056 37.5 SF120V KIT Includes Touchscreen Programmable Thermostat,Heating cable, Ditra Heat sheets, 2 Floor sensors

I used the ditra-heat for my bathroom of about 50 square feet. The ditra system is easy to work with. However, one major drawback is the cheaply made thermostat. At the final step of installing the thermostat one of the terminal clamping screws stripped on the load side. I was rather surprised since I was using a manual screwdriver and I am used to screwing terminals on outlets and switches and never had one strip out. It should be noted that having a strong grip on the terminal screw is vital for a secure connection. Loosening of a terminal screw can cause sparking and could be a potential fire hazard. More disappointing was Schluters response when I requested a warranty replacement. Not covered, they dont consider this a manufacturing defect. Thus my rating of 2 stars for value ( now I need to buy another thermostat).

I have it retract my negative review. At 1st it didn’t heat up. Electrician came back & fixed.Run down: The install was not easy when it comes to electrical, using ohm meter etc. The Physical install of wires and the pads are a breeze. Use a good tile person for that. Lesson learned: use a GC to avoid he said he said blame if it doesnt work. Watch sal’s YouTube video! Also, MAKE sure you check everything with ohm meter. I did EVERYthing to a T so I KNEW something was wrong with the thermostat when it failed. Electrician came back, re-wired the box & it now works. This isn’t supposed to heat the room but to me it does. Warm tile floors make me want to do angels like I’m in the snow. It’s amazing & a life changer. I love these floors. The thermostat is USER friendly. Wish more people knew how to install in SF Bay Area but overall I say this is a good buy but the installation people are key. GET PROS to do this.

My husband installed this in our bathroom underneath our new waterproof flooring he installed. I didnt really think it was necessary. I am glad he didnt listen to me! It is so nice to walk into the bathroom and fill the warm floor! Works wonderfully! The programmable thermostat is so easy to set up, so you when you know you do not need to have the floor warming (while you are at work) it is off! Love it!

Excellent

I had the heating system installed with ceramic tile and it works wonderfully and I couldn’t be happier right now. Of course, it has only been on for about a week. Ask me after a year or five. The thermostat is relatively easy to set up although some of the menus are awkward.

Not too tricky to install before you put your floor down. It’s a little sluggish heating up but the touch screen is intuitive and easy to read.
