Why do tile substrates take different times to dry?

Question

Why is it important to wait much longer for certain tiling substrates to dry in comparison to other scenarios?

Antonio · Accepted Answer

There is just one difference between the two cases, one dries quickly and the other one takes longer, however, the resistance is the same in both cases. That's all

I prefer that one who dries quickly as I finish the job quickly as well.

Depends on what surface material is used and is also sucks in moisture.

Hi, it all depends on the substrate. If it absorbs more moisture it will dry quicker I.e timber/cement board.

Depends on the amount of tile adhesive, the quality of the tile, and the quality of the wall.
Because I wouldn't bounce the tile.

All substrates are different depending on weather ie heat or cold 99 % will be fine after 6 weeks unless it's a soft based pour then a moisture test will be required primer is the key to all substrates after 6 weeks
