When a concrete slab has not completely dried out and an LVT floor is installed, no more moisture can evaporate through the surface. However, over time the dryer top portion of the concrete will pull up the excess moisture from the bottom until the moisture is equally distributed between top and bottom portions of the […]

Read More >Water in concrete is presented in three stages: as free water held by capillarity, as absorbed water held by surface forces and as bound water held chemically. The ideal method of moisture measurement should quantify amounts of these three states, but this is a difficult task because moisture in concrete is not uniformly distributed, and […]
