fidbox®
The fidbox® is a measurement device equipped with two sensors for temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%). Installed underneath the hardwood floor, it records the essential data of the wood floor and its substrate every 8 hours.
Sensor 1: Wood measurement
The relative humidity of the wood is measured by sensor 1 in the hollow space above the fidbox® (wood humidity = material climate)
Since wood is a hygroscopic material and therefore it adapts to the humidity of the room climate, sensor 1 also determines the relative humidity of the room.
Sensor 2: Substrate measurement (example: screed)
In the hollow space below the fidbox®, sensor 2 measures relative humidity and the surface temperature of the screed, determining its moisture level. (material climate)
The recorded data can be accessed any time on a smartphone by builders, architects, or other users via Bluetooth and an APP. This information is not only important for a healthy room climate, also for the longevity of a hardwood floor.
Areas of application
The fidbox® has many benefits for owners, builders and inhabitants.
