Discussion about
My inlaws are looking to lay new porcelain floors in the kitchen and before they hire a contract I wanted to do some research as to what is the best underlayment for the tiles, ditra vs cement board. From what I can understand you are supposed to use unmodified thinset to lay the tiles on top of the ditra. But I also read the unmodified thinset available at Lowes and HD are low quality. Just wondering where did the people on this board find high quality thinset for ditra and how was the process and quality for ditra vs cement board?

We buy all our Thinset from Nemo Tile in Manhattan. Both Ditra and cement board is fine for a kitchen floor install.
