CONSEQUENCES OF POOR BUILDING DRYING

No one wants their building project to become delayed, but the reality is often different. The schedules of the various contractors are often not properly coordinated, so that the completion deadline risks being compromised. If the screed is not dry, no parquet can be installed and if the plasterwork is still wet, the painter and the joiner cannot start their work. The consequences of poor and too slow drying may, however, also cause considerable damage. Poor or slow drying of the building in fact promotes the risk of mould growth. Moreover, your walls will be more likely to exhibit cracks. Below we briefly explain how this is caused, and how it can be avoided.

Poor drying due to lack of building dryers

Many people underestimate the use and usefulness of building dryers after plastering or screeding. If you do not use building dryers, the risk of mould growth increases. In new build projects, poor and too slow drying may also create other problems.

Just think of a parquet floor that swells because the screed was not yet dry when the floor was installed, or paint that peels off because the painter did not give the plasterwork enough time to cure. Building dryers can help you with this, as they prevent the need for taking moisture control measures afterwards.

Poor drying as a result of inappropriate building dryers

Are you planning to hire a building dryer? Then you have already made the right choice by visiting this website. Make sure, however, that you use the appropriate equipment. Inappropriate building dryers or the wrong combination of equipment may result in suboptimal drying of the surface. This may lead to cracks being formed in the plasterwork when a very powerful heater, e.g. a gas heater, is used in combination with the wrong dryers. Wrong choices may also result in your freshly installed screed having to be broken up completely.

Preventing poor drying

The consequences of poor drying are disastrous. To prevent moisture problems or other inconveniences, it is therefore essential to use the right building dryers. They can be used in combination with both fans and electric heaters.
