When building a house, it is crucial to monitor the moisture levels of the construction blocks and other materials. 

All exterior wall structures initially have greater moisture than estimated in calculations. This occurs during production, bricklaying, and plastering processes, as well as due to precipitation. However, not all materials wick moisture in the same manner.

Scientific research has found that: 
LODE Keraterm ceramic construction blocks have an initial moisture level of 0 %, while the equilibrium moisture content ranges only from 0.6 to 2 %. The open-pore structure facilitates much quicker wicking of moisture, protecting the building from accumulation of excess moisture.
The initial moisture level of aerated concrete blocks can reach up to 35 %, and even after a year, it remains around 25 %. 

Why is this important? A high humidity level in the structure leads to lower thermal insulation and an increased risk of mold. Damp materials take a long time to dry, requiring intensive ventilation and incurring additional costs.

By choosing LODE Keraterm ceramic blocks, you ensure that the building efficiently wicks moisture and achieves better thermal insulation in the long term.
