What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging detects slight temperature changes to the surface of any object.

How does it work?

Using the FLIR P60 THERMAL IMAGER.

Over a period of time roof surfaces become worn and damaged. Then it rains! The roof structure becomes contaminated with moisture. During fine days the whole roof absorbs energy from the sun. This heats up the wet areas. The wet areas retain the suns energy in the form of heat. These areas emit heat at a much higher temperature than the dry areas. Using thermal imaging equipment at night, it is possible to differentiate between wet and dry areas

What are the advantages of Thermal Imaging?

• Non destructive testing
• Does not effect the roof at all
• Shows results in real time
• Accurately shows problem areas
• Safe remote working practice

What are the disadvantages of Thermal Imaging?

• Heavily dependant on weather
• Needs destructive testing to verify
• Doesn't work on ballasted roofs
• Doesn't work on inverted roofs
• Doesn't work on green roofs

So how do we verify thermal imaging without destructive testing?
