I have had my kitchen rewired my plasterer has been ill and can’t do the replastering until 2 days before the kitchen is due to be fitted.
Is this enough time for the plasterer to harden enough to hang cupboards from.
I am so worried.
Hi it won't be a problem getting the kitchen fitted 2 days after plastering that's more than enough drying time it's just the painting you should not get done until the plaster has all dried out.
Usually it will take 4-5 days for plaster to completely dry, sometimes a whole week. It really depends on temperature of the room, the hotter the room stays the faster it will dry. So crank that heating up in your case! I hope that has helped.
Take care, Crafted Woodwork.
Yes 2 days is fine for the plaster to harden
As long as the area is dry you could always hire a dehumidifier to assist with drying and a low heat in the room as you should be hanging units which are drilled into a solid backing this shouldn't be a problem
No it’s not really enough time as it’s still soft
The plaster needs to be fully dry ideally as if the walls are still dark brown then by putting the cupboards up will end up trapping moisture and mould will occur … the walls should be fully dry(light pink colour)…
But if you need to speed the process up get a decent humidifier in the room to draw the water out of walls quicker or possibly moderate heat but not too close to the walls as they could craze or blow
Yes this will be more than enough time for plaster to harden off and dry out ready for kitchen fitter.
2 days is enough for walls to be hang cupboards from, there's no doubt, I hope you will not get mould where you hang cupboards if you don't allowed enough time to dry.
I normally recommend 8 days after being done
sometimes 2 days is enough it depends on the ambient temperature but sometimes you have to wait even a few days
2 days is not enough time. Any kitchen units fixed to the newly plastered wall will prevent the walls from drying and lead to mould.
