[QUOTE="Ajax123, post: 905151, member: 12267"] To do correctly the screed should be cured for a minimum of 7 days under polythene before anything happens. Heating should not then be commissioned for a further 21 days according to bs8204. There are conflicting standards about the actual procedure for commssioning the heating but my advice is always the same I.e. switch on and run the heating at its minimum mixing valve setting or 25 degrees c whichever is lower. Leave for 3 days. Then increase by maximum 5 degrees per day via the mixing valve up to its maximum setting or maximum 55 degrees c. Leave it for 3 days. Then reverse the process before switching off for minimum 48 hours before moisture testing. Repair any cracks as required, sand and vac the screed to remove any extraneous consruction debris. If sufficiently dry then tile away. Room stats need to be disconnected as the flow temperature is the important thing. It' no good if it switches in and out during the process as that does not do it properly. [/QUOTE]
