Cladding Inspections With Thermal Imaging

Using Thermal Imaging to Protect You From Combustible Cladding

Since the disaster that took place at Grenfell Tower back in 2017, there has been a rising concern for fire risks in other multi-storey buildings that also have cladding installed.

Cladding inspections have now increased rapidly, to keep residents safe and to prevent disaster from striking again. The majority of cladding inspections taking place are carried out manually by security personnel walking around with a horn if an alarm needs to be raised. This can be very invasive and costly. If the building is more than 3 storeys high, then the security guards cannot see anything until it’s too late.

If the cladding on these buildings is seen to need replacing, the cost of this will likely be passed down and divided between the residents in the building, this will increase their service charge by thousands.

How can Thermascan Help?

Safety is important to everyone and accidents should always be avoided wherever possible. Our FLIR infrared cameras can detect temperature hot spots on objects before damage has a chance to occur.

By using our FLIR thermal imaging cameras to continuously monitor your building, hot spots can be detected before a disaster has the opportunity to strike providing you with a safe and cost-effective solution.

Our collection of FLIR automation cameras can be set-up alongside software that is capable of automatically sounding alarms when the temperature threshold has been surpassed. The software can also communicate directly to you via email or SMS, so you will be informed as soon as a change arises.
