Peel-and-stick underlayment that speeds up tile installs with built-in uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and load distribution, with no thin-set required.
The Schluter DITRA-PS Peel and Stick Uncoupling Membrane is a self-adhesive underlayment designed to simplify tile installation. It provides uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and load distribution in one lightweight layer — with no thin-set required beneath the membrane. Just peel, stick, and tile.
Key Features
Peel and Stick Installation — Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds directly to plywood, OSB, or concrete without mortar.
Uncoupling Protection — Neutralizes stresses between substrate and tile to help prevent cracking.
Waterproofing and Vapor Management — Protects substrates from moisture while allowing excess vapor to escape.
Load Distribution — Grid cavities transfer point loads evenly to the substrate for durability.
Heated Floor Compatible — Works with Schluter heating cables for radiant floor installations.
EasyCut Design — Printed grid makes measuring and cutting fast and precise.

Installation Tips
Ensure the substrate is flat, clean, dry, and structurally sound.
Peel back the release film and press the membrane firmly into place using a roller or float.
Overlap or butt seams and seal with Schluter KERDI-BAND if waterproofing is required.
Fill cavities with thin-set mortar and set tile immediately — no cure time needed.
