floor prep

hi chaps i am doing a job soon which is about 250m2 of latex-1 coat DPM-latex then fitting karndean vangogh.
i have to go somewhere else after the prep work is done for 1 week, is it ok to leave it like that? somewhere in the back of my mind something is telling me latex shouldnt be left open for too long before the floor covering gets fitted. am i right or am i imagining it?

 

As long as no crap gets on it you will be fine mate. I often screed jobs early when kitchens are out then go back a month later to fit the floor.

 

ah ok mate thank you. that puts my mind at rest it was niggling away at me so thought i,d check.

 

Depends what traffic and trades are gonna be there, if it's a full on site I would buy some corex plastic floor protector for it.

 

If you use latexplan it's hard as nails so no need,to worry about other trades buggering it up

 

Ah! Floor lining paper will do it.
