Screed Drying Time - Shortcuts?

[VDubDan]

Kind of feel like I'm missing a trick here! So I've screened the floor in my extension - was pretty deep, about 80-90mm in all. New build, so dpm, slab, insulation, vapour barrier then screed.

But regarding the drying time which seems to be months - how do people work around this when doing bathrooms and kitchens. For example, I've got a downstairs toilet that will be tiled - usual course of action would be to fit the tiles then toilet.

Additionally, it'll probably need a bit of levelling compound on.

So what do people do here? Have I literally got to wait 3 months before I can put my toilet in?

I've got a similar issue with the kitchen because we have some gaps for freestanding appliances

Use a liquid moisture suppressant like

Uzin PE404
Ardex DPM1c
Fball F77

Mapei topcem screed dries in 24 hours.....wouldve been a better option, but thats a bit late now.

however now you can use an uncoupling mat like ditra below tiles.

I havent any knowledge of the liquid moisture suppressants that dazlight suggests so cant advise on those

Another solution is Mapei ESM, a 2-pack resin which seals in the moisture. A bit of acfaff to use but has worked well.on several commercial oak floors I've been involved with installing
