Performance requirements for packaging structures in terms of thermal protection of buildings are constantly increasing which is related to the increasing demands on the properties of masonry materials. Development of new, thermally-insulating ceramic fittings for circuit design is a rather complicated process. One of the options of improvement of thermal insulating properties of ceramic fittings is to reduce the thickness of the inner ribs and change their geometric arrangement of shapes or sizes increase and thus the width of masonry construction. Alternative options are insulating fittings with very good insulation properties which will be integrated in the cavities shaped padding. Ceramic skeleton provides mechanical stability and fittings and integrated insulation layer of smaller or larger part in its share and possibly thermal acoustic insulation properties. This paper describes the study of hygrothermal behavior of ceramic masonry blocks developed using an integrated insulating panels on the basis of waste textile fibers.
