What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal Imaging or Infrared Thermography is an extremely powerful method of proactively monitoring and troubleshooting Electrical, Mechanical and Structural systems which may have problems that remain undetected using standard visual inspection and diagnostic techniques. Quite simply, problems that can not be seen with the naked eye are clearly visible using Thermal Imaging.

Thermal Imaging is a very effective, non-invasive building diagnostic procedure when used professionally. There are many many applications, and recent restrictions on working at height and ever increasing demands for carbon footprint reduction have increased the demand for this service.

Thermal Imaging applications and benefits at a glance.

• Reduction in uncontrolled heat loss. Uncontrolled Heat loss can account for 20-50% or more of a buildings heat loss.
• Identify structural defects that create thermal bridges. Remove/manage sources of thermal discomfort and condensation problems.
• Check or prove insulation continuity. Avoid another source of thermal discomfort and condensation problems.
• Find hidden leaks sources, of damp in a building or home. Eliminate uncontrolled moisture that can lead to mould and associated health problems.
• Ensure building fabric has dried following flooding/plastering, identify areas that have been contaminated with hygoscopic elements. Avoid storing up trouble by trapping moisture behind new finishes.
• Identify and isolate roof defects. Make effective repairs and avoid expensive early replacement of roof elements.
