ᐅ Kitchen Installation After Screed Drying

Hello everyone,

Question:

If the screed is dry enough for the tiler to start and already lay tiles throughout the house, can I then have the kitchen installed without any problems immediately after that?

I have heard from several sources: "Since the kitchen involves wood, it’s better to wait a bit longer and install the kitchen later."

My opinion is: If the screed is dry enough for further work like tiling to proceed, then I should also be able to have the kitchen installed 1-2 weeks later, right?

We basically wouldn’t mind waiting another 1-2 weeks, but the kitchen fitter is extremely booked, and that might delay things by 3-4 weeks... We obviously want to avoid that.

There is still dirt and dust on the construction site. It is also quite damp.

I would wait. It is possible to go without a kitchen for 2 weeks after moving in. (Grilling, microwave, delivery service, ...) ((When is the move-in date??))

Is the kitchen supposed to be placed directly on the screed?

And will this area be left out when installing the actual floor covering?

Just go for it. If you have concerns, simply leave the baseboards off at the bottom of the kitchen.
But then, please don't put cabinets against the walls or lay carpet, laminate, or vinyl anywhere else ;-)

However, the kitchen should of course be on the tiles, so this question shouldn't really come up?!

Yes, you definitely can. The worst that could happen is some dust settling on the kitchen from other finishing work. Also, besides the tiles, the painting should already be completed, since, for example, painting the ceiling in a finished room is always inconvenient.

The kitchen will be installed directly on the tiles as usual.

It will probably be a bit tight anyway... However, the supplier needs to deliver the kitchen on March 11th because they cannot store it.

We will therefore place the kitchen in our garage and then carry it into the house for installation when the time comes.
