Hello,
we have a small workshop integrated into the garage. The room is insulated but has no heating. It is drying out slowly on its own. We ventilate constantly. Naturally, it takes a very long time without any heat. This week Lidl had moisture meters. It shows me values in %, whatever that is supposed to mean. The screed is now between 3% and 6%. Does anyone have an idea what these values indicate? When can I start thinking about tiling?

Should the room be heated up for a while? I was thinking about 1 week at 20°C (68°F). Would that be enough? What do you think?

So far, we have always ventilated by opening the windows fully for a short time. However, the screed has now been in place for 3 months (approximately 10 feet). Would it be better to keep the windows tilted open permanently now?
