The waiting period before laying finished flooring over self-leveling underlayment depends on the type of floor covering being installed and the specific moisture content of the cured compound. For resilient flooring like ceramic tile or stone, installation can often begin as soon as twenty-four hours after the self-leveler has fully hardened and dried. However, for moisture-sensitive materials like hardwood, laminate, or luxury vinyl plank, installers typically must wait anywhere from three to seven days or longer, and conduct formal moisture meter tests to ensure residual water trapped in the compound will not ruin the new flooring.
