Insulating a building is now one of the basic works performed during its construction. It improves the energy efficiency of the building and saves on maintenance costs.
Have you commissioned a building to be thermally upgraded, but don’t know how to check if the work is being done properly?
Nothing will ensure the commitment of the contractor’s team to the correct implementation of the project more than the vision of regular and thorough inspection. Supervision of each stage of thermal insulation allows you to avoid the appearance and accumulation of defects, the consequences of which may be difficult or even impossible to remove at a later time. Neglecting regular inspections should be avoided, as this can later increase the cost of the entire investment, significantly postpone its completion date and possibly apply contractual penalties by the principal.
The main defects that arise during assembly include:
- No peripheral glue (glue squares alone).
- Improper placement of mechanical fasteners or too deep insertion – formation of excessive thermal bridges.
- Gaps resulting from poor connection of insulation boards – formation of thermal bridges.
- Filling the gaps between the panels with glue – creating thermal bridges leading to accelerated deterioration of the facade.
- Poorly placed insulation in the lintels.

Poorly executed thermal insulation is not only badly spent money with no benefit, but it is still high heating bills, thermal discomfort inside the building, and – additional danger in a fire situation.
Thermal imaging comes to the aid of assessing the correctness of the execution of the various layers. By performing a thermal imaging survey with the appropriate interpretation, we are able to determine whether the work is done correctly and possibly hold the contractor responsible.
From the above thermogram, we can conclude that the vents that occur are the main reason for the formation of mold and mildew in the apartment. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that the insulation is done properly.
In conclusion, having every stage of thermal insulation under control, whether as a contractor or as an owner, is particularly important. It avoids many problems in the future, which may even include re-doing the thermal insulation if the scale of defects turns out to be sizable.
