When applying a fireproof coating to structures, it is vital for the material to dry within a specific amount of time. While some fireproofing sprays contain chemical accelerators to speed hardening, they still produce a significant amount of moisture during the application process. Incidentally, the fire-resistant material may be more difficult to dry than drywall or cement. Without the right ambient conditions or construction drying services, a contractor may face delays and unintentionally create safety risks.

Measuring twice and cutting once sometimes isn’t enough when installing millwork. Wood is hygroscopic, expanding as relative humidity levels increase and contracting when it loses moisture. Professionals refer to the relationship between wood and humidity as equilibrium moisture content (EMC). Construction drying solutions prevent EMC changes, allowing you to install millwork without the risk of bowing, splitting, or gap formations.
