Moisture testing options!   

Our moisture detection tester was created, harnessing insight gained over decades of experience in the field of moisture testing. We’ve used this experience to design and manufacture a wide range of similar devices. 

Also from TQC Sheen, there’s the Non-destructive Wood Moisture Detection Meter Caisson VI-D6, which contains the calibration lines of 30 different types of wood and tests to a high degree of accuracy. Then there’s also our specialist Concrete Moisture Meter to consider.  

If you like the sound of an all-in-one basic paint inspection kit, including the Mini LIGNO Duo or Caisson VI-D6 moisture meter, then you’re in luck! We grouped together matching tools to create two handy paint inspection kit options to choose from.
