FastDry Technologies™ is a revolutionary drying system for water damage restoration.

Restoring water damage requires a lot of time, effort and cost. In many cases a foil tent must be installed which takes a lot of setup time. Absorption dehumidifiers are loud and must be turned off when people are either sleeping or working. Electricity costs are very high. In some cases, poor control of the drying temperature causes additional damage to the original material.

 

Drying with FastDry Technologies™ is fast and energy efficient for ensuring a high drying quality. Compared to other technologies FastDry Technologies™ is noiseless and you can save energy costs and time.

How we achieve fast and energy efficient drying

A FastDry Technologies™ panel contains an electrical heating system and insulation. The panel is placed directly on the wet wall and heats up the wall evenly and controlled. Because of the heat, the moisture evaporates and that speeds up the drying process. The water vapor can leave through the panel because of the permeable insulation. The Insulation also prevents heat loss to ambient areas. The combination of the integrated temperature control and the insulation greatly reduces the energy consumption and thus greatly reduces energy costs. FastDry Technologies™ offers fast, energy efficient and noiseless drying of walls and ceilings. It meets the high quality requirements of restoration companies and clients as well as the wish of insurances to reduce energy costs and setup costs.

Fast Drying

The temperature controlled heating allows a short drying time. Because of the high vapor permeability materials the moisture leaves the wall very fast though the panel. No plastic enclosures are needed so setup time is very fast.


Energy Efficient

FastDry Technologies™ uses up to 80% less energy than the standard solutions. The wall is directly heated with little loss to the surrounding area.


High Drying Quality

Controlled and even drying ensures a high quality.

 

Noiseless Drying

Preferred by residential owners and commercial customers

 

Flexibility

The panels are flexible to fit any surface.


Light Weight

The installation is easy and fast because of the light weight.

FastDry Technologies™ in laboratory tests

FastDry Technologies has been tested at the Fraunhofer IBP laboratory to compare it with other drying technologies. Therefore brick walls have been dried under constant climate conditions. The experiments show that the FastDry Technology is at least as fast as comparable technologies and uses up to 90% less energy.
