Ditra-Heat Floor Warming
Ditra-Heat aims to tackle the issues of floor warming-induced expansion and contraction in floor assemblies by combining floor warming and uncoupling in a single layer. The product's heating cables are snapped into place on top of the uncoupling mat without clips or fasteners, giving the installer flexibility in where the cables are placed so every project is customized. Because they're held in place with the Ditra-Heat mat, installers don't need to use self-leveling compounds to encapsulate the heating cables. This expedites installation by eliminating the waiting time when the compound would set, and tile installation can begin immediately. Ditra-Heat is available in rolls and sheets, and cables are available for 120V or 240V circuits. Schluter Systems | 800.472.4588 | schlutersystems.com
Everlast Basement Wall Panels
The EverLast Wall System helps make finished basements even more comfortable thanks to SilverGlo insulation. An added radiant barrier on the back of the wall system panels bumps the insulation to 2 1/2 inches thick with an R-14. The gray foam is impregnated with graphite to reflect heat, helping the panels resist conductive heat flow. In addition to its insulating properties, the EverLast Wall System resists mold, termites, and fire. Total Basement Finishing | 877.818.1482 | totalbasementfinishing.com
