Hello,
we are currently building as well. In the next few weeks, the screed will be installed.
Our builder now wants to place three construction dryers in the house for two months afterwards. However, we would prefer to avoid this and get rid of the moisture by ventilating. The builder advises against this.
Can anyone give us advice on whether construction dryers are really necessary or if it is possible to manage the moisture without them?
Thank you in advance for your opinions.
Best regards,
steffi23

At the end of next week, beginning of calendar week 49, the central heating installation (no underfloor heating) will take place, and then heating can be started – this should make things easier.
The site manager thinks we won’t need a building dryer (but I’ll keep that in mind).

We had our house assembled in early December last year, without underfloor heating.
After pouring the anhydrite screed, the heating was turned on and heated to about 30°C (86°F). A window was left slightly open, and there was an exhaust fan installed upstairs.
During this time, there was usually someone working inside the house, which limited the airing out to only about three weeks.
After eight weeks, the residual moisture in the screed measured by CM measurement was 0.2%, which is almost ready for covering.
In total, around €600 of gas was used for the heating.
