Conservatory. Removed old cracked ceramic tiles and adhesive, down to slab. Self leveling compound poured 10 days ago and dehumidifier has been running for 5 days, moisture now still varies between 4.5 and 7% in different areas.

Laminate instructions specify slab moisture content of <1.8% but I doubt this will be possible as lifting carpets and checking around the house, I see 6% - 7.5%. Laminate will be laid on Visqueen dpm and underlay.

Any thoughts on what maximum moisture percentage would be acceptable before laying?

P.S. Would you seal the self leveling, if so with what - pva?
