How long before I can walk on new tiled floor?

    Hi.

    I had new tiles laid in my bathroom today but I forgot to ask the tiler how long it would be before I can walk on them.
    They've been laid and they have those little clip things in between each tile.

    How long should I wait before walking on them?
    He finished laying them at 5pm and it's 6:20pm now.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    :D:D If I was any good at tiling, I would be the very person who would tile themselves into a corner. I'm that clueless at times!!

    Why did you not phone the tiler?

    Depends on which adhesive he used, setting could be anything from a few hours to 12 hrs or more.

    If he used rapidset adhesive, you'd be OK now. When is he coming back to grout?
