Moisture Testing Ensures Flooring Readiness
At a construction site, there was a concern about the moisture level within the anhydrite screed. These types of screed have become a popular alternative to the sand and cement options; however, a potential issue is that they can have a weak surface layer. This means that the drying process can be slower. The contractor must therefore ensure that the screed has been dried to the optimal level before any floor finish such as vinyl, tiles, carpets or wood panelling can be laid. To do this, an accurate moisture assessment is required from a specialist humidity expert.
