[QUOTE="Matthew77, post: 905126"] hi all I’m hoping for some technical advice on screeds and commissioning wet underfloor heating. I went to look at at 40m2 of floor tiling job yesterday the customers would like the floor tiled before the 22nd of next month as the kitchen is being fitted then. The wet underfloor heating system is laid and the (75mm) cement based screed is being installed early next week. I’ve advised them there is no way that the screed will be dry in time to tile onto. So now the floor screeders are going to use a rapid setting floor screed I believe this is still going to be cement based. So I understand that with a standard cement based screed it’s standard to wait 1mm per day for drying time. How does this change when using a rapid setting product as I assume although the product is rapid setting it still has a high water content until dry right? Also regarding commissioning of the underfloor heating I understand that this must be done before Tiling and if I remember correctly the heating is taken up to full heat for a set amount of time gradually. Would someone care to explain how long after laying the screed this can be done and how long it takes? Thanks Matt [/QUOTE]
