Default How long does it take for Grout to dry?

Hi all,

Recently (yesterday) I've had my Bathroom Tilled.

When would it be safe for me to install my Electric Shower and Shower
Screen?

This also applies to my Kitchen.... when can I install the sockets
etc?

PS: Is it just me or it Google groups really slow today?

I phoned Bols (Grout Manufacturer) when I installed my bathroom tiles,
as the instructions stated that a two week curing process was
recommended. Their technical support confirmed this, recommending that
the grout was not subject to serious wetting in that time (i.e. don't
take a shower without protecting the grout.)

As for fitting sockets etc - I would be happy to do such work after 24
hours from grouting - such activity will not affect the grout curing.
