In this video Jason Spangler, Rapid RH Product Specialist explains the importance of and which tools you will need to determine the dew point of a concrete slab, a necessary yet rarely talked about aspect of the flooring installation process.

Here Jason demonstrates the relationship between a digital thermo-hygrometer and an infrared thermometer.
