ᐅ Proper Drying / Tilted Windows?

Hi,

We had our cement screed installed over 5 weeks ago.
For almost 2.5 weeks now, we have been actively drying our house. The heating curve is already decreasing again.

Unfortunately, we are not able to get the moisture under control. Ventilating more than twice a day is impossible; during the first week, we only managed to ventilate once a day.

Our relative humidity still remains at around 95%.

I wanted to ask how advisable it is to keep two opposite windows slightly open (tilted) on each floor.
Does this make sense, or is it more of a disadvantage?

Not sure why you are arguing... I definitely have a lot of moisture inside my home as well, and we air out the house five times a day.

You just had the screed installed recently, right? For us, unfortunately, it will still take until the beginning of the year until the interior plastering is finally finished.

But at least there is hardly any noticeable moisture coming from it anymore…

The screed has now been in place for 6 weeks. Heating has been on for 2 weeks. Yesterday, the drilling was finally done – it will be connected next week. I hope it will then be used for heating as well. Moisture still condenses on the window frames (especially on the upper floor) after the night (since unfortunately no one ventilates).

Okay, "a little" is normal – didn’t you at least have a decentralized system? Use it to ventilate.

I would like to, but they haven’t installed them yet – they even asked about it.
Well, I have given up on the idea of perfect home construction.

Now you have my full attention – what do you mean by a "perfect house construction" ... in your opinion?
