tiling a new conservatory

[tactile]

i was due to tile a conservatory floor in a weeks time. natural slate on to a concrete floor. the builders have just finished the conservatory today (although the actual floor was finished a week ago). do i have to wait 3-4 weeks before i can do this job or can it be done next week???

does the floor have to dry out like newly plastered walls?

If you need a fastrack installation....you can use this onto concrete that hasn't cured properly....Gaz

You can also use ditra mat..as it is a vapour equilisation mat as well and ideal for this type of project........It also can be got from CTD.....

Equalisation of vapour pressure
The interconnected air channels between the cavities on the underside of the Schlüter-DITRA matting remain open. This allows moisture in the substrate to evaporate, thus neutralising vapour pressure.
