Tramex Concrete & Timber Moisture Meters
Tramex Concrete & Timber Moisture Meters & Hygrometers are Specifically Designed for The Flooring Industry
"CONCRETE SUB FLOORS MUST BE DRY BEFORE INSTALLING FLOOR COVERINGS"
The Tramex Concrete & Timber Moisture Meters featured below have been designed specifically to meet the needs of the concrete & timber flooring contractor. Regular checking of moisture content during the drying out period of a new concrete screed is important to ensure it has reached the Australian Standard of dryness to accept floor coverings.
Key reasons to use a Moisture Meter for flooring include:
- Detection of continuous moisture migration toward the surface.
- To test the surface and mid-section of concrete slabs.
- To reduce the chances of excess moisture in wood & concrete sub-floors.
- To identify potential for de-lamination in synthetic floors.
Excessive moisture in concrete floor slabs and screeds can lead to a host of problems in all types of floor coverings such as: adhesive degradation, delaminating of the floor covering from the slab and within itself, condensation, blistering, movement and deterioration of the covering.
In the case of wood flooring, excess moisture can lead to swelling, cupping and movement of the wood which can lead to floor failure and even structural damage. Excess moisture can also lead to mould growth. Most of these problems can be related to the floor covering being installed on a sub floor that is not sufficiently dry. It is therefore important to insure that the concrete slab or screed is sufficiently dry enough to accept floor coverings, coatings or a timber floor.
The Concrete Encounter (CME4)
The pocket size CME4 non-destructive moisture meter is designed to measure the moisture content in concrete sub floors prior to the application of floor coverings. Simply switch the CME4 on, hold it against the surface and take readings from the clear analogue dial showing readings up to 6% moisture content. The CME4 is recommended by the World’s Leading Floor Covering Manufacturers.
