Concrete floors and screeds must be sufficiently dry before treatments, adhesives or floor coverings can be applied or installed. Regular checking of moisture content during the drying out period of a new or existing concrete floor or floor screed is important to ensure it has reached sufficient dryness to accept these treatments, adhesives and floor coverings, and also to identify moisture related problems and determine when sealants are required.
Excessive moisture in concrete floor slabs and screeds can lead to a host of problems in all types of floor coverings such as: adhesive degradation, delamination of the floor covering from the slab and within itself, condensation, blistering, movement and deterioration of the covering. Tramex moisture meters help you avoid these problems.
