THE National Flood School has launched a new course investigating the role innovative thermographic technology can play in the flooring professional’s tool kit.
The thermography introduction day is held at the National Flood School’s (NFS) training headquarters, based in Farnham, Surrey.
The course examines how infrared thermography and thermal imaging technology can speed up works and reduce their impact on a property – making repairs less intrusive and more accurately targeted.
It’s claimed that a camera can be used to identify the source of a leak beneath a floor finish without having to dig it up, resulting in
dramatic time and labour savings and less disruption.
Cameras can also reportedly be used to track the performance of water and electrical-based under floor heating systems through the screed.
The cameras can also track thermal properties underfoot in different zones within a building, helping installers track drying times of floor finishes.
The training day also includes a hands-on demonstration in the National Flood School’s purpose-built Flood House, and an introduction to the software to analyse and interpret images.
After completing the training, delegates will also have the necessary skills to produce thermography reports.
Chris Netherton, md of the National Flood School, says:
‘Thermographic technology has been available for years, but it has traditionally been extremely expensive.
‘As with most technology, the equipment has become much more cost-effective and will become increasingly important to flooring professionals.’
Courses run throughout the year.
