Lol, you should seriously consider setting up a side line as a screed tester! Could be a good earner.

The one I already have is almost always in use, plus it makes sense while doing a test to test the floor in more than one place.

Lol funny you should post that SR as I got half way through writing you a message on the m62 last night before I nodded off. Pretty much asking what the crack is with them as ive not come across any anhydrite screeds yet. Bound to happen sooner or later. Failing to prepare and all that

Dont follow Balls written instructions on the unit.
Sand and area of floor and before sealing the unit to the floor make sure UFH is off and has been for at least three days. Seal to floor and leave for 24 hours. After that time turn on, leave for a further 24 hours and take the reading.
Before using the unit again leave a space of 24 hours and then repeat.


Thats my way anyway.

Pretty much spot on ... the only thing I will add is that the unit should not be left in place for more than 72 hours as the micro environment under it can cause interstitial condensation to form making the results very inaccurate. Not sure you need 24 hours before using the unit again but if it works then no argument.

Thanks guys.

What are the correct moisture levels to allow tiling and where is the best place to place the hygrometer.

Thanks again.

Thats my OCD....I like to work this way......set hygrometer at 9am, read following day at 9am. If they want to start another test in that same day as taking the reading it throws me out ! Also I am sure i read somewhere that there should be a period in between taking 2 readings and I just use 24 hours as to keep things on track.
