tanking screed - do I have to wait?

[TheMitchells]

Our wet room for the parents is coming along. the builders have finished the build and have handed over to myself and the OH to fit the inside.  so I have block walls and a screed floor.  the builder has told me I MUST tank the shower area.  I plan to use Aquaboard for the shower area and green moisture board for the rest of the room.  But how long do I have to wait for the screed to dry before I tank?  I was told to wait at least a momnth before tiling so am I right in assuming I should wait a month before tanking? 

we plan to put the toilet and sink in place temporarily while the floor drys as the parents really need the second loo.  then after a month, we shall remove them, tile the floor and re-fit everything properly.

 

So I think the plan will be;-

1.    get the electrics and pipes in place

2.    get the plasterboard and aquapanels in place. 

3.    skim plaster the walls.  the main part will be painted, rather than tiled. 

4.    after a month, tank and tile the floor

5.    fit the multipanel boards in the shower area.

 

doe this sound like the correct order of things?

Ideally you would let the screed dry out A day per mil 

It’s not always practical for a shower room 

I’ve screeded many shower rooms and covered the floor with boards the following day and got on with tiling the walls 

Then tanked and tiled the floor a couple of days later 

With no problems
