> 24 hourDue to the bit of bounce the Ditra mat has, it unfortunately causes some tiles to crack. I recommend using larger or thicker tiles for this product. Important detail.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourNot 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.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI am a DIY homeowner who installed this under a new tile floor. I found the installation to be rather straight forward. Hooked up the thermostat and everything worked. Warm floors are nice.

> 24 hourThis is a complete kit for the square footage needed. Everything is included except for an electrical box and separate conduits for the floor sensor and floor heat leed wires. The step by step directions were easy to follow and clear. Note: there is an extra floor sensor included in the thermostat box that is for future use if needed. I will use this product again.

> 24 hourI 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).
