Hello,
The screed has been in place for one week, and the underfloor heating has now been turned on to help with drying. Dehumidifiers are also being used. Mineral insulation was installed, and both the exterior and interior have been plastered.
Now we are worried that it might be drying too quickly. Is this common practice? We want to avoid any risk of mold.
Thank you

Could it be that you mean a dehumidifier with condensation drying? As far as I know, this makes sense because it only prevents the condensate from being absorbed and ending up inside the drywall. However, it does not have any heating or drying function for the screed. As mentioned, it is purely meant for collecting the condensate.
