Dear House Building Forum Members,
I would like to ask for your experience regarding how long it takes to dry a single-family house of about 180 sqm (1,940 sq ft) with a basement (watertight concrete shell) in summer. The exterior walls are made of sand-lime brick with insulation, lime plaster, and cement screed (14 cm / 5.5 inches). How long after laying the screed can it be dried?
The underfloor heating will possibly only be available about 7 days after the screed is laid.
Would using fans at night with open windows help? What about condensation dryers during the day with windows closed?
What would dry the fastest?
Thanks for any advice and tips.
All the best
