Based on your room it's around 2.6kw per hour assuming its running permanently. Your heat loss needs to be calculated so you can find out how much that affects it

A simple floor hygrometer is about £100... The hygrometer is a European standard recognised test but it can be tricky as its affected by temperature and humidity changes. I've used them dozens if not hundreds if times. You cant always take the readings for granted. You do not need a wireless...

I cant remember if it's the 5... I think so but I can check tomorrow

Hmm... totally forgot about this. Yes the update was sadly that comparative results using tramex vs hygrometer vs CM method was inconclusive in the results were eratic. However we are set to repeat the work with a new version of the tramex which looks more promising...

I know mine doesn't leak cos I did it myself but I accept your point. Maybe I'm back in... well with one foot at least

It's not old swedish mike or whatever his name was is it???

Heated screed, natural stone, bs5385 says you should uncouple. End of as far as I'm concerned

I'm waiting for the final report from the independent test house. It's being prepared as we speak. Hopeful to have it along with its conclusions and subsequent advice by end of this month.

Hi dan. Actually the advice may change soon as a result of some quite extensive independent research on the most accurate moisture test methods along with drying time advice. I will keep you posted .... Excuse the pun.

As per the precisely copied reply on the other thread.... what a faff. Pumped anhydrite screed for me every time

Runnnnnnn!!

It's not as easy a question to answer yes or no to. I have come across many instances where the fixer believes he has done everything by the book based on a book written for example by the adhesive manufacturer. I often get told "I used the correct materials, primers and adhesives etc". When in...

It's probably cos they're all to busy blaming the screed...

Who is gonna be brave enough to kick you off site??
