    Ditra vs Fiberock

    We're having our kitchen tiled. We've been given the choice of Fiberock or Ditra xl underlay, with a strong preference for the Fiberock by the supplier. Can anyone explain what would make it a better choice over the Ditra, or has anyone worked with it? Thanks in advance.

    Over-wintering Japanese Maple
