Good morning everyone,
I have a question:
Next week, after 6 weeks, the screed will be heated up at my place.
My question is, should the space be ventilated during the heating phase?
If yes, should I ventilate once a day by fully opening the windows or keep them tilted open continuously?

I would like to have my windows sealed off already so that the painter can apply the first coat at the end of the heating phase.

Thank you very much.

According to your screed installer’s instructions. Normally, you will receive detailed guidance on how to heat and ventilate the screed... But in general, ventilation is of course necessary.

Exactly, according to specifications, if warranty is important to you.

In any case, ventilation will be necessary. You cannot seal the windows shut now.
The painter can only start once the tropical temperatures caused by heating have passed – and the plaster is dry.

Just to ask the obvious: where should all the moisture go if you don’t ventilate and have the windows sealed? You can pretty much say: welcome to mold. And the painter can’t just paint over that ;-) By the way, tilted window ventilation is very ineffective since there is hardly any air exchange. Regular full ventilation is the way to go.

Construction dryer / dehumidifier.
