DMX Tile Underlayment is now available on Homedepot.com (linked at the top of the video description). Coming to homedepot.ca and Rona.ca soon. Hope you found this video helpful. Leave a comment if you have any questions, I’m happy to help. Cheers!
Jeff i put cement board down and was gonna put floor leveler to make it level then tile..but now i guess i need uncoupling membrane as well to finish the install properly...i never realized so many things in the ever evolving and changing world of information for the diy person person to understand and learn..thank you for helping us diyers try to get it right the first go..God Bless 🙌 You Jeff Thxz Brother...
Perfect. I am installing two tubs / shower in a new construction this month. Thank you for putting in the labor/work in testing/installing the membranes. Kudos.
The DMX membrane needs some color to the backing. With the other membranes you can see when you don't have good coverage because you have a bright orange or yellow against the grey thin set. With the DMX you have a grey background against the grey thin set. Much harder to see ( at least on camera ) if there is a good coverage. I'm just a fly on the wall. I don't do tile so take the feedback for what its worth!
Even though its sponsored I do really appreciate you explaining the concept that sounds sane. Takes time but illustrates why you like the product. I know thats why you do it. I also just appreciate the effort. If its cheaper and directly from the manufacturer it probably is better. 30 percent is a common mark up for middlemen.
Are there any radiant heating coils that are compatible with DMX like with Schluter? Love the DMX engineering, would love to also have the floors heated.
Thanks for this timely comparison. Will be tiling a bathroom soon, and am always happy to find something that is not only better and easier to install, but also less expensive. You don't find that often!
Looks like a nice option of the many out there. I am not fully convinced it is much better than Ditra if at all, but I would use it if availability is good and price is lower. I'd like to see you do similar test comparison of Tile Redi shower pans nad wall boards, and Laticrete Hydroban foam wall boards. Maybe my next bathroom project will be with DMX on floor, TileRedi shower pan and Hydroban shower walls.
I'd be interested to find out how Ardex's glue would work with this stuff. Like you I don't like how plywood absorbs moisture and possibly compromise the bond. I've used the glue with Ditra and liked the results. Just seems to make more sense to me.
I would love to see how you install heated floor with this. I think I read one of your comments that says its coming soon. Just subbed and looking forward to it. This came at just the right time; I'm about to begin bathroom remodel
Weatherman sells umbrellas. But seriously, direct bond is amazing still. If you're not waterproofing under the tile, all these products are unnecessary upsells to move money from your wallet to theirs.
i want to see a long term comparison (on an existing cracked floor) between Mapei Mapelastic roll-on crack isolation membrane and these Schluter clones. Mapelastic is $0.50/sqft. DMX is $1.57/sqft.
Tried to contact this company for DMX membrane solutions multiple times and no answer. Used the contact form as well and its malfunctioning. Can’t find this product at any major retailers, no place on their website where it says where to buy. -- unfortunate and I am in Canada
No they provided him product to review and give their feedback on. Just because something is sponsored doesn’t mean that it’s a bad product or the person is somehow a sell out for reviewing the product. It’s not like this is an Ad read for the company.

You are good. Always a pleasure to watch and learn.

It was making my knees hurt watching you crawl around on the floor without knee pads. 😬
Would you use the membrane over concrete?
definitely, prevents cracks when concrete cracks. Cheers!
DMX seems to have a superior product that work great for home renovations.
Thanks Jeff for the wonderful information & video.
Thanks a lot.

coming soon! Cheers!

The DMX can also be used for under VP flooring !!
DMX 1 step 2.0 is awesome as an underlayment
Does it still have to be stuck down and if so with what?
4:24 X GON GIVE IT TO YA!😂
Hiw does these products compare where ther is a crack i. A cement slab that gets a tiny bit bigger? Is one more forgiving than another?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY Does the DMX install on concrete?
6:57 didn’t know that test, really handy to know so thanks, I also heard that for tiling you want “McFlurry” Ice cream consistency

Completely agree with you about hardwood and porcelain. All those other crap "luxury" floors are total garbage.
Thats a good core workout Jeff!!
that is why they call it work. Cheers!
Can I use the same liquid waterproofing seen in your shower wall/tile video under my floor tiles?
Thank you Jeff for the very informative video again!
Do you DMX on walls also? Is there any thing different when working on concrete basement floor

This products not for heated floors they got different coupling membrane for that
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Direct bond, 3/4 inch glued & screwed, 23 years, ZERO tile/grout cracks.....not sure why we need all of this extra material nowadays.

I think monolithic has to do with the footer and floor poured all at once. Nothing to do with rebar
Schluter peel and stick is faster. Tile install same day
Nice

Personally I use laticrete ditra. It's same hing just different pattern
If they are sponsoring you, then there is bias?
People have their own biases no matter what. The important part is he stated upfront that it was a sponsorship which lets you make up your own mind.
The amount of ads on this video kind of sucked. Especially for a video that basically is an ad. But I appreciate the info, as always.
He doesn’t control TH-cam ads, that’s all controlled by TH-cam. I didn’t get a single one for example.
Need a translator for the Canadian accent. It’s “howse “ not “hoose “
Typical, Canadian product and I can't even buy it in Canada yet lol. I don't even see it on the American Home Depot website.
You’re in the wrong industry,,butchers cut meat .
Scares you.. give me a break.
Yeah, but let’s be honest. You were loading the DMX pad with four times the amount of mix as well.
Keep watching the video I explain why. Cheers
@@HomeRenoVisionDIYI jumped the gun lol
I’ve been watching Jeff use DMX products for. Holy crap half a decade now
They're paying you to say nice things. Disappointing
No they provided him product to review and give their feedback on.
Just because something is sponsored doesn’t mean that it’s a bad product or the person is somehow a sell out for reviewing the product.
It’s not like this is an Ad read for the company.
Laticrete ditra same thing just different pattern
I don't think design matters, other companies cannot make the same looking ditra that's why every company got their own pattern
