Ceramic floor tiling onto clammy concrete?
The floor get very drizzling for about an hour or so.
I be going to lay ceramic floor tiles this weekend, but not too sure if it's sage?
Will the floor still be damp below the surface for ?? weeks?
The floor be bare and in place to lay the ceramic tiles.
How long should I continue before lay the tiles?
Answers: Wait at leat two weeks. I made this mistake a few years back. The tiles seem to go down fine but after a couple of months the glue started to fail and I finished up with a cracked tile - which next needed lifting along with eight around it - nightmare.
2 weeks
I would continue at least unitl subsequent weekend, just to trademark sure it is completely dry. You might also want to consider a moisture barrier underneath the backerboard. Talk to a flooring being at Lowes. They can help you opt what is best for your situation. Good luck!
If the floor is still damp don't lay the tiles. The drenched will eventually seep into the tiles and form them look as though they're stained. Dry the floor first and I'd also paint it over with a impermeable screed.
