Sand and cement screed down. How long - TilersForums.com

[average]

I have a newly laid screed 75mm thick sand and cement laid 2 weeks ago. I'm stuck for time and need the ensuite floor tiles asap. Is there any products you can recommend for me so I can start laying now rather than wait another few weeks before it's fully dry.

You could after 21 days use a green screed adhesive with a vapour equalisation matting. Then tile on the matting to accommodate screed shrinking/ expansion.

I just bought an anti cracking mat and green screed addy in the tile store. They recommended the green screed addy can be used 10-14 days after sand and cement screed is laid.

I have 3 SQ meters to lay although I only got one bag. This should cover the tiles but I'm not sure about both, as in the anti cracking mat and the tiles.

I also have a small patch in the corner needs filled and will be using ardex A29 to fill this in around where the trap is for shower tray. This product, you can tile 24 hours after.
