The spherical probe uses induction technology to detect moisture 20-40mm deep without penetrating surfaces. Pin metres physically pierce materials, leaving permanent holes in wood, plaster, and finished surfaces that compromise aesthetics and structural integrity.

The KixWovi Wood Moisture Meter measures moisture content 20-40mm below the surface. This deep penetration capability detects hidden water damage within walls, floors, and structural timber that surface-level testing would completely miss.

Absolutely. The non-destructive spherical probe won't damage paint, varnish, tiles, or any finished surface. Test the same spot repeatedly without leaving marks, making it perfect for quality inspections on completed projects and valuable antiques.

Use the SET button to configure critical moisture values for different materials. The metre allows separate thresholds—wood typically alarms at 80, concrete at 50, and plaster at 60 on the 0-100 scale.

Green indicates dry, safe moisture levels. Yellow signals borderline risk zones requiring monitoring. Red warns of excessive wetness demanding immediate attention. The numerical display provides precise moisture values alongside these intuitive colour indicators.

The spherical probe delivers professional-grade accuracy equivalent to laboratory equipment. Self-calibration technology ensures consistent results, whilst the 20-40mm penetration depth often reveals moisture that surface-reading pin metres miss entirely.

The KixWovi Wood Moisture Metre tests softwood, hardwood, concrete, mortar, plaster, drywall, bricks, tiles, stone, ceilings, and wet walls. Its versatility makes it indispensable for construction inspections, restoration work, and general building maintenance.

The KixWovi Wood Moisture Meter features automatic self-calibration. Simply turn on the device and allow it to calibrate itself before testing. This ensures accuracy without requiring manual adjustments or complicated calibration procedures.
