        "text": "A shower should generally be allowed to cure according to the specific mortar, grout, sealant, waterproofing, and fixture manufacturer instructions before regular use. The tile’s appearance does not prove that every underlying layer has cured. Context: Elite Remodeling & Design can provide a project schedule that separates tile completion from fixture, glass, and final-use milestones. Key factors: - Humidity and ventilation affect curing. - Sealing products may have separate waiting periods. - Shower doors, accessories, and caulk may require their own cure time. Practical guidance: Get the final-use date in writing and ask which product controls it. Do not test the shower early simply because the grout looks dry. A clear handoff checklist should identify care instructions, sealant cure time, and any remaining punch-list items.",
