Why do you have to wait before grouting tile?

You need to wait before grouting tile to allow the thin-set mortar used to adhere the tiles to properly cure and set. Typically, this waiting period is around 24 hours, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and environmental conditions. Grouting too soon can disturb the tiles, leading to misalignment or inadequate adhesion. Additionally, waiting ensures that the tiles are firmly in place, resulting in a more stable and durable finished surface.
