21917 - Protimeter Floor Laying Kit

Exessive moisture in floors prior to laying a floor covering will result in degeneration in the flooring product. To ensure the floor covering is not effected by moisture, is necessary to measure and reduce the amount of excess water in the floor after curing for a number of reasons: • To determine the drying time the concrete in order to apply a covering • To reduce corrosion of reinforcing steel bars • To reduce swelling and biological decay of wood based floor coverings • To prevent alkali attack on polymer based floor adhesives • To predict the final mechanical and pysical properties of the concrete • To reduce the extent of alkali silica reaction and carbonation • To study the drying out of various grades of concrete The Protimeter Floor Testing Kit allows the user to test the moisture through three methods to ensure the correct moisture levels has been reached before laying the floor covering.
