Sorry for joining in the OP's question here. I have a couple myself. 1-So economy 7 turns on at 12am-7am or there abouts? 2- you can fit timer plugs to switch on at say 1am to take use of cheap electric if you DONT have economy 7 ? 3- how does the meter know when on cheap electric rate...

Jay? what are you going on about? Daz has given you plenty of advice and help on previous thread and he helps many other people on here. For him and the rest of us to be called jokers is well below the belt. Also for reference, Dazlight is regarded as one of the U.k's top installers...

drop in for a beer daz. You stopping over?

you shouldn't prime and then dpm. The dpm wont bond. You can prime and then lay smoothing compound and then a dpm. Or just use the dpm, you will need more as the dpm will become the primer.

what does the RH have to be below when installing wood flooring direct to a concrete base? I presume you are not a professional but you do DIY ?

Due to you needing a high NM strength compound it wont be able to go over it. Also the wood floor wood pull it up. The word "flexible" says it all. Its more designed for where you might of taken out a wall and you are repairing a DPM maybe 6" below the surface. Not for over the top on concrete.

repost

Never float a solid. And even if you have a working DPM under the slab, a surface DPM is also required when bonding wood floors.

do not use the paint on dpm you have found. It will have to be removed before you can lay any flooring on it. Your floor may be dry. Only reason for a surface dpm would be if fitting a solid wood floor.

that seems crazy for a trade that is so strict with gas safe etc. Surely you chaps should have a option of using a professional who can inspect rather taking manufactures words for what happened etc. They could come up with any excuses and you have no one that can prove that you may not be at...

not a plumber so i dont know, but when you chaps get failed pipes / boilers etc, well do you have some sort of independent inspector for inspecting and writing reports? in the flooring trade we have people like - http://www.sid-bourne.com/ He will visit site and inspect and write a report...

and get a good carpet fitter in. Who ever put down that gripper should be banned from fitting carpet.

Just for the record and the rest of the installers on here. (keeping you all up to date before it happens) British standards is soon to change to say - 1mm per day drying for concrete up to 40mm deep. After 40mm if will need 2 days drying per 1 mm. The above is a estimate and the...

Happy birthday mate. PS, if you have a reading below 55% rh then the meter dont work . Yes i said 55% ! + or - 2% Sounds like your meter is pot on accurate!

maybe we should refer to it as moisture test and not damp test. We need to know how much moisture is in your subfloor. Depending on how much moisture is in the floor will depend on the prep. EVERY subfloor has a moisture content. It dont matter if its 1 year old or 100 years old ...

im not familiar with that product. Daz uses it a lot. Not sure if it can be used on a damp floor. All ardex products are very good tho.
