Grout after 3 Hours or leave it longer - Tile Advice

[Filip]

My adhesive specs say you can grout after 3 hours although I wont be grouting that soon but if you have no need to grout quickly is there any benefit in not grouting for say 24 -48 hours or will the adhesive dry and gain full strength just as quick with the grout in place

It will make no difference as the adhesive drys chemically, and not by dispersion ( the air getting to it to help it dry)..

Thanks that is what I was thinking but just thought I would check

In the Winter leave it for as long as possible (in my opinion). Things take longer to dry etc etc. Grouting too early may cause efflorescence.
