Humidimeter

Whether for the wood of your fireplace or for building materials for your project, humidity plays a key role in sustainability, safety and efficiency. Our humidimeters are designed to meet these two essential needs. They offer a reliable and precise method to measure the humidity level, helping you to guarantee not only optimal quality firewood but also building materials in the best possible conditions.

Measuring humidity in materials, whether heating or building materials, is a crucial element for several reasons, ranging from safety to efficiency through sustainability.

Why measure the humidity of materials is essential?

Measuring humidity in materials, whether heating or building materials, is a crucial element for several reasons, ranging from safety to efficiency through sustainability.

For firewood:

• Combustion efficiency : A well -dried wood has a better combustion yield. Too humid wood will burn less effectively, producing less heat and more residues such as soot or creosote, which can accumulate in your fireplace or pan and create risk of fire.
• Reduction of emissions : Dry wood produces less smoke and harmful emissions, which is better for the environment and for indoor air quality.
• Flame quality : A properly dried wood produces a more constant and controllable flame, improving the experience of wood fire at home.

For building materials:

• Prevention of mold and mushrooms : High humidity in building materials promotes the growth of mold and fungi, which can degrade the quality of the building and pose health risks.
• Structural integrity : Too wet materials can deform, swell or crack over time. Measuring humidity ensures that the materials used are in optimal condition for construction or renovation.
• Adhesion of paintings and coatings : For paintings, coatings and other finishes to adhere correctly and last longer, it is important that the surface on which they are applied has an appropriate humidity.

By precisely measuring the humidity of the materials, you can make informed decisions that affect not only the quality and sustainability of your project or your comfort in your home, but also your health and your safety. Our humidimeters offer the accuracy and reliability necessary to make these essential measurements with ease and precision.

What are the ideal humidity for its materials? 

Determining the appropriate humidity standards for different materials is crucial to ensure their optimal quality and performance. Here is an overview of the humidity forks recommended for various types of current materials.

For the drink, a humidity level ideal is located below 14%. At this level, wood is dry enough to ensure effective combustion, producing maximum heat while minimizing smoke and residue production. However, a humidity level fair can be between 14 and 20%, although this can reduce the effectiveness of combustion and increase the amount of smoke generated.

Regarding plaster, a humidity level ideal is less than 1%. This level of humidity guarantees good adhesion of finishes and minimizes the risks of mold development. A humidity level fair, between 1 and 3%, is generally tolerated, but it is advisable to remain vigilant to avoid humidity problems which could cause complications in the future.

For the concrete, a humidity level ideal is less than 2.5%. This indicates that concrete has dried at an appropriate level for the application of floor coverings, paintings and adhesives. However, a humidity level fair is between 2.5 and 4%. In this case, it may be necessary to adopt additional measures to guarantee the grip and longevity of the applied coatings.
