Abstract

From 1995 to 2023 moisture content has been measured on a south-faced 0,75 m thick outer wall of brickwork. The wall is whitewashed on the out-side. On the inside, a whitewashed and a plastic painted area lay beside each other. Moisture measurements made with a capacitive instrument showed, as expected, that the whitewashed part dries out to equilibrium, whereas the plastic painted part is kept wet with a higher moisture content.
