Construction drying
Almost all modern buildings have load bearing walls built from either concrete form or brick. Floors are normally constructed from concrete with a screed on top or a self levelling concrete. These dense, hard materials are tough but need to remain dry in order to maintain structural integrity. Modern floor surfaces like wood parquets, carpets and plastic paints also demand dry conditions to keep their design and shape, while continuing to support the architect's vision and an odour free environment. Polygon offers decades of world-wide experience in the dehumidifying of concrete and brick. Using a combination of energy efficient, high performing, desiccant dehumidifiers, supported by air movers and heaters, Polygon can create the optimum environment for efficient drying. Modern constructions are often covered with expensive wood parquets, plastic paints, vapour barriers, plastic carpets and metal sheets. If such materials are applied to a damp surface, problems with mould growth, the blistering of paint, corrosion, and glue break-down can occur. Creating a dry climate when building a new house is increasingly important for contractors, property owners and other interested parties. By consulting Polygon we can create a dry well ventilated environment, right from the start. Polygon has developed unique methods to enable the fast and effective drying out of even the most complicated structures. Polygon's experienced technicians are trained to find sources of water penetration, measure the scope of the damaged area and then select and apply suitable equipment for drying.
