Hello community,

We completed a composite screed in the garage over the summer. It has already fully dried.

Tiles are planned to be installed on the screed. Due to time constraints, I will probably only be able to lay the tiles in spring.

Would it be possible to drive a wet car onto the screed during winter, or could the screed be damaged? Also, could dirt from the car cause problems when laying the tiles?

I believe screed is not suitable for use with rock salt, which is common for cars in winter.

We didn’t have any problems with that. The tiles were installed only after 2 winters, and they have been in place for 9 years now...

In our garage, there has only been screed for over 6 years.
At my parents' place, there has only been screed for 40 years, and so far there have been no problems.

I’m familiar with it only that way as well. Tiling the garage floor is new to me and isn’t really necessary. Yes, after a few years you can see marks from the car, but it is a garage after all 🙂
