New kitchen floor - sealer / SLC? - Tile Advice

[MattW]

Hi all,

We've just had a new kitchen extension built (25 sq m) which had a trowelled 3" concrete screed layed two weeks ago. The trouble is that the surface of the screed is getting slightly damaged by foot traffic etc and I want to protect it / seal it. There's also a slight low point by the doorway that the screeder painted his way out of which will need SLC.

I don't think I'll be able to get a tiler in before the kitchen is fitted (only 10 days away). Is there a durable sealer / compound that I can use on a two week old quite dusty screed - at the moment I'm about to loose lay hardboard on the floor to try and protect it.

Any advice appreciated!
cheers
Matt

Hi Matt, I would protect it with the hardboard and let the tiler seal it when he/she starts the floor. It may still have a bit of drying to do and sealing it will slow this down.

yes i agree with diamond ,protect it with board but leave it at least another week so it's three weeks old before tiling minimum m8, and tiler will seal it before tiling

Once your've lifted the boards give it time for the moisture to evaporate
