It is advisable to wait a minimum of 28 days before tiling over newly poured concrete. This is because concrete needs time to cure and dry, allowing it to reach its full strength and prevent the tiles from cracking or coming loose over time. Once the waiting period has passed, the concrete surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris, and a primer or bonding agent may be necessary to ensure proper adhesion of the tiles. Following manufacturer instructions and consulting with a professional can help ensure a successful installation.
