Laying laminate and tiles on newly laid Screed?

[fizz47]

I believe I know the answer but just wanted to check.....

I am having some screed put down to even out the concrete floors. The extension of the house is approx 3 cm lower.

Approx 45 sq ft of screed will be laid with 3 cm depth

Majority of the screed will be covered with an underlay with laminate laid on top. A small amount will be tiled over.

From my understanding i need to wait 1 day per mm of screed laid... Is this over cautious or can I lay the flooring earlier?

What are peoples experience when they have laid the flooring down soon after the screed has been laid.

Will the type of screed laid also make a diference?

At 30mm I'm guessing its a self leveling (flow) screed?
30mm is to thin for a sand cement screed.

1mm per day is correct for a sand cement screed. A bit less in the current weather.

Yes I beleive it is self levelling screed - so is that much quicker to dry?

There are fast drying screeds but you'll need to check with supplier as they do vary.

Thank you again...
