Hi - losing sleep over this so appreciate some advise.
My builder rushed tiling the kitchen floor, and laid tiles 2 weeks after screed was poured in. Only now do I find out he should wait for screed to dry. It has been 2.5 months now, and so far the tiles (40x60cm, porcelain) seem ok (no cracking or buckling).
Does that mean I got lucky and the tiles will be ok seeing its already 2.5 months?
Or can problems like tiles buckling, cracking still happen later on? When is the "safe" period when I can stop worrying?!
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Not sure if poured is the right word but the screed came already mixed as a thick mixture which the builder used spade to put on top of insulation on top of concrete foundation. The screed seemed to dry overnight. The builders were walking on it the next say (I don't know if they should or not.... And that's another thing I'm worried about is I'm reading the screed should be covered for 7 days, which the builder didn't do either)
I don't know the composition of the screed sorry.
