About the product

TimbA Systems provides moisture content monitoring and condensation risk analysis for mass timber and modern timber construction projects across the UK. Timber performs best within a controlled moisture range, and managing it correctly is essential to the durability, structural integrity and long-term health of any timber building.

Our moisture content service covers timber assessment during procurement, delivery, storage and installation, helping ensure that CLT, glulam and timber-frame elements are within acceptable limits before and during the build. We advise on protection on site, drying strategies and the conditions needed to avoid problems such as movement, splitting and decay.

Our condensation analysis examines the building envelope to assess the risk of interstitial and surface condensation within timber assemblies. We review wall, roof and floor build-ups, vapour control and airtightness layers, and the interaction between insulation, membranes and the timber structure, identifying where moisture could accumulate and how to prevent it.

By combining structural engineering knowledge with building physics, we help project teams design and build timber structures that stay dry, durable and healthy throughout their service life, reducing the risk of costly moisture-related failures.
