Drying time for screed

[chriselevate]

I've got to get a floor levelled up in time for an UFH system to go down and from what I've read, traditional sand and cement screed can take 1day per 1mm to dry.

I have a 2.2m x 1m area that has a depth of 150mm.

Is this going to take 150 days to dry? Is there any advice you can give me to reduce this time as the system is looking to be installed in a couple of weeks

Thanks for your help on this one.

My screed was ok after a couple of weeks , but we kept it covered with plastic to slow drying process as it improves strength .(65-100mm depth)
