ᐅ Is a fast-setting screed necessary for a walk-in shower?

Hello everyone,

My two floor-level showers, which will be tiled, are going to be prepared by the tiler, who wants to use standard concrete screed for the substrate. My contractor had told me that fast-drying screed should be used. So now I’m caught in the middle again. The concrete screed is of course much cheaper. But I also know that concrete screed needs to dry before tiles can be installed. Or can the tiles be laid immediately? Underfloor heating has also been installed in the shower area. What would you recommend? Thanks and have a nice day.

@ "reini1234": Cement-based building products from hardware stores must meet the final strength requirements like all mortar or leveling systems. Therefore, it really does not matter where you get your dry mix from!
