ventilate the house properly and keep the temperature as
constant as possible.
Forced drying: not too fast
Heating the house to promote the drying process is
sometimes called forced drying. Forced drying should
not be done too quickly, otherwise significant damage
(such as contraction cracks) can occur. It is therefore
recommended to give careful attention to forced drying.
Bear in mind that the forced drying process may take as
long as six months. Set the heating to 15 to 18°C, and
raise it to 20°C after moving in. Do not set the heating
any higher, as the materials will start drying too quickly
and damage to the building structure may occur.
Ventilation during forced drying
Good ventilation and air circulation are essential during
the drying process. During the first year, keep furniture
approximately 5 cm away from the walls to allow the
moisture to escape. Open the windows each day for
sustained periods. The ventilation grilles must remain
open all the times and the forced air ventilation system
should be left to run constantly (don't unplug it), Run the
forced air ventilation system at high speed as often as
possible during the first few months.
This will create the most favourable air circulation in the
house.
Energy costs
Good, continuous ventilation is not only important for
good health; it is also important to avoid moisture
problems in the house. However, ventilation takes heat
out of the house. Forced drying new houses also results
in higher energy consumption, resulting in a higher
energy costs.
