Hello house-building forum!
Next week we will be installing the screed (flowing anhydrite screed). When would be a good time to start installing the wall tiles in the bathroom and toilet? Basically, I don’t need to wait for the screed to reach the appropriate residual moisture level for this, right?
Would it be possible to start after about 4 weeks, once most of the moisture has left the screed, and then move straight on to the floor tiles? Or am I misunderstanding something here?
The substrate is gypsum plaster in the toilet and lime-cement plaster in the bathroom.
Thanks a lot for your ideas/comments :-)
Best regards, Sushi

The same was done for us – and we had a strongly warped screed in the bathroom. Nothing was patched – it just looks good 😉

They have to prepare a proper tile layout plan beforehand and check how it will turn out. It doesn’t matter when the work starts...
Especially the time-consuming wall tiles took a lot of time for us – I was very glad that everything was in place when the screed was ready for covering.

and thank you for the contributions.
I will not be doing the installation myself, but a friend will, who is currently not available; otherwise, I would have already asked him about it.
I just wanted to discuss this issue in advance and check for any possible misconceptions ;-)
Thanks!
