Depends on the grout you use. Most of Bal's grouts cure in 24hrs at 20C BAL Microcolour Wide Joint Grout cures though in 5hrs. | ||

allways best to leave it 24 hours before walking on it if you can. Then you know its fully hardened, and you wont have to go back and touch up any bits that may have got damaged. If its a movement floor then definaltly leave it 24 hours. | ||||||||||
