Around half of all construction sites today are affected by mold.Experts believe one of the main causes of mold in new construction is the increasing number of winter construction sites, which are often poorly maintained.Moisture can then lead to mold in unfinished roofs and open basements. Moisture in new buildings occurs when screed is applied, or interior walls are plastered.This moisture must be removed, and this can only be achieved through consistent heating and ventilation.Both are essential to prevent damage to the new building.
If the heating in the house isn't yet working, builders should use drying devices.Experts recommend electric heaters, not gas heaters. It's important to ensure even heating on all floors, including the attic.One or two fan heaters are needed per floor.Heating must be provided around the clock, and the indoor temperature should be at least 10 degrees Celsius.
To allow the moist air to escape from the building, regular ventilation is also required: cross-ventilation for five to 15 minutes, depending on the outside temperature, two to three times a day.The colder it is, the faster the air exchange occurs.
For large building sites we recommend for example the IY135 Diesel Forced Air Heater , Direct air heaters are oil-fired fan heaters that can be installed outside or inside the winter building.Fans blow heated air into the building through flexible hoses.The exhaust pipe can be directed outside, thus preventing exhaust pollution indoors.
If a power supply is available on site, electric fan heaters can be used.These are installed directly indoors, without any exhaust emissions or complex installation.We can recommend the DB15 Electric Forced Air Heater.
For additional support in dehumidification on construction sites, we offer construction dryers.At a large building site, we recommend using several devises.For example, the C80Industrial dehumidifier.Our devices help you combat construction moisture, residual moisture, damp walls, and water damage after flooding.
