Moisture cutting

If it turns out that the screed has incorrect moisture content before installing a new wooden floor, it will be necessary to professionally dry the moisture. The maximum moisture content for cement screeds without underfloor heating is 2% CM, and for anhydrite screeds without underfloor heating is 0.5% CM. The maximum moisture level for cement screeds with underfloor heating is 1.8% CM, and for anhydrite screeds with underfloor heating is 0.3% CM.

Parkiet Studio offers two methods for drying the moisture from the substrate. Our experienced employee will not only measure the moisture content at the investment site but also suggest the most optimal way to dry the moisture.

1. Using professional dehumidifiers - an effective method, but quite time-consuming. Dehumidifiers draw moisture-laden air and condense the water it contains, then release properly dried air into the room.
2. Drying moisture using specialized building systems - an efficient way to quickly reduce the moisture content of the substrate by up to 10% CM. In this method, moisture is dried by professional membranes made of specialized resins. In the first step, the screed is precisely ground and vacuumed. Three layers of resin are applied to the prepared substrate, creating a tight moisture barrier. The final layer is covered with quartz sand and left until the next day, when any unbound sand is vacuumed. The quartz sand that has bonded with the substrate will now provide a key layer for further work (self-leveling screed or adhesive for wooden floors).
