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

Christian AHS29 Dec 2013 22:01I don’t have underfloor heating with room temperature control.
Today I realized something new.
Upstairs, in the rooms along the wall of the extension (it will be a semi-detached house, but only one half—the other one is “missing”), there are slightly damp spots inside at the height of the concrete ledges (which distribute the weight of the roof structure to the masonry).
I only noticed this today during a discussion.
On all other sides, I don’t have this problem because those walls are insulated. Only the extension wall is not.
So, tomorrow I’m going to apply the remaining 20mm (¾ inch) of perimeter insulation (leftover material) to the wall at the height of these concrete sills.
It might not look great, but it will be hidden once the other half of the semi-detached house is built, and that way I can keep the wall dry and retain the heat.
It’s a pity—I had actually hoped the developer would have pointed out such issues.
Regards,
Chris
