thanks man, always great to hear from you buddy. Hope you’re having a good weekend 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, Clear and lots of great advise. I'm a big fan of the Schluter products as well! :)

Best series right here! This is exactly what I want to do with my master bathroom. I was wondering if the heating system could cause a failure of the thinset over time because of the expanding and contracting when the thermostat turns the system on and off.

So glad I found this...

Definitely was a cold one yesterday morning. Nice video.

thank you, yep, getting a bit chilly in the Burgh and Northeast!!!

Is Part 8 still coming ?

The way Steve maintained a consistent pattern over the tileable drain is very cool.

definitely, it makes the entire floor look really cool

Great series! I have one question... from the videos, it seems there is still a small height difference between the ditra heat installed on the support foam for the drain and the ditra heat on top of the sloped Kerdi pan. Is this correct? If so, how did you account for that difference in height when tiling the shower and the linear drain??

It looks like the drain cover was about an inch short on each side of the shower opening, but the tile covering it went all the way to the wall. That is a great look! Will this let water that runs down along the edge of the wall drain into the drain?

Hey love your work! Why do you zig zag the heat sensor cable?

Great content! Approximately how much did the total system cost? Thanks, DC

I’m having a shower reno done and my work getting done isn’t half as good as yours. Wish my tile guy had the same love into it. :(

How did you pitch the floor towards the drain? I didn't catch that in this video.

This was all done in one day? I assumed you would have to tile the day after laying the membrane and Kerdi band and corners?

why put another layer of membrane on the floor? is it really neaded on top of the heat mat?

Are there any photos of the finished bathroom/shower? I’d really like to see how it turned out…

Do you have a video on this washroom fully finished?

How come you don’t put the Kerdi corner on first then overlap the kerdi membrane on top of the corner for better water proofing?

My contractor is using Redguard over kerdi shower pan is that a good idea?

Your hands gotta be wrecked with all that all-set. Holy cow lol

Is that fireclay tile you're installing in the shower towards the end? Looks like "rosemary" color..

porcelain tile

The Schluter-KERDI completely over the DITRA-HEAT, is that just an extra layer of protection, or are you using it to raise heights? I've seen people just add KERDI-BAND to the seams of DITRA-HEAT but not cover it completely with Schluter-KERDI.

extra waterproofing layer for the shower, it’s a minimal height increase. We don’t use it for the main floor, only Kerdi-Band like you describe

Is it required over the cable? Or can the seams be taped at the pan, then have the heat sheets put down and tile over it?

Can I cut the cable at the end of the roll after installing cable.

no

Why did you use two heat wires? Why not just one long wire that covers the bathroom floor AND the shower floor?

One for the shower and one for the main bathroom, just in case the shower one doesn't work in the future. Extra insurance.

Looks good but that needs a roll on membrane. Schluter is not water proof.

incorrect, the orange membrane is waterproof and seams can be sealed with thin-set and thin-set mortar

@@HomeRepairTutor afraid not, highly water resistant yes. Water easily wicks through the thinset, a topical over the system stops that from happening. I didnt want to hear that either being ive installed at least 30 schluter showers myself. Did my own tests knowing it would hold up, to my surprise it wicked water quite quickly. I still use kerdi but now use a roll on over it.

we’ve never had that issue and can’t substantiate anything different. Unfortunately there is a lot of unwarranted skepticism and we don’t subscribe to that. Plus we can’t recommend liquid membranes over Schluter because it voids the warranty.

@@HomeRepairTutor have you ever taken apart a shower youve built? If not how do you know. While I get your position on the warranty, id rather know 100% my showers water proof and not rely on a manufacturers warranty to cover damage to a customers house, from a system I encouraged them to use. Don't get me wrong, your channel is one of the best out there for quality content and proper info. Doesnt change the fact it does wick water even if you follow all their guidelines. Also kerdi coll can be used as a roll on membrane, but really should be used to install kerdi ban. Kinda like using 8+9 to do the ban work.

Can roll on membrane (e.g. Aquadefense ) be applied on top of the ditra heat once heat wire is thinseted in?

You work very messy

2:45 yo dropping sharp shit around a restive element that is about to be entombed is pretty dumb.

This ain’t your video , stop stealing
