Construction Drying Services

Most construction schedules cannot tolerate waiting a day or two to apply a new layer of mud. To enable the drywall subcontractor to apply a new layer every day, the General Contractor must consider temperature, relative humidity and air-flow. Polygon Climate Control engineers temporary systems that achieve dry times between 12 and 15 hours, maintaining or accelerating the job’s schedule via overnight dry-times.

Interior finishes require being installed and maintained at their Standard Service Life Conditions (SSLC) for proper physical appearance and functionality. Hardwoods and millwork can warp, cup, and expand with minimal variances in conditions. Polygon Climate Control engineers controlled systems that keep a consistent environment to preserve materials and avoid tear-out, reconstruction, and long delays.

All wood used in framing a structure must be at or below a certain moisture content to be considered dry. At certain times in the year this can be achieved via ambient conditions and air movement. However, most climates and job schedules cannot simply ‘let the weather’ dry the wood frame of a building. Schedule delays due to excess moisture in a wood frame can be difficult to recover from.  This will be multiplied exponentially in the event of mold forming. To help avoid these issues, Polygon Climate Control provides custom dehumidification, heat systems and regular moisture mapping to prove to the materials are at specifications.

Flooring materials and adhesives have varying moisture tolerances, yet the vast majority of construction schedules are unable to achieve this relative humidity level in the slabs via ambient conditions. To help clients avoid costly vapor sealers and down time during application, Polygon Climate Control engineers custom temporary dehumidification systems that remove moisture to hit the specifications.  This allows the General Contractor to install flooring under the manufacturer’s warranty, while simultaneously drying building materials in the rest of the space.
