“Where does moisture come from?” – determining air temperature and air humidity
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
How does moisture actually emerge in the components of a house – and in doing so pave the way for mould infestations? The so-called ‘dew point’ provides an answer to this question. This is the temperature at which the air releases its contained water as condensate. Therefore, the precise measurement of air temperature and humidity as well as the exact determination of the dew point temperature are at the heart of building diagnostics – as well as for the accompanying measuring devices: the professional thermohygrometers from Trotec.
“Where does moisture come from?” – material moisture and surface temperature are what determine it
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
There are no outbreaks of mould without moisture. However, whoever wants to track it down like a professional renovator requires such a professional measuring device – something that can determine the material and surface moisture. Or can make notorious thermal bridges identifiable through the measurement of the surface temperature. In the second part of our series “Where does moisture come from?”, we introduce the professional measuring device that precisely determines moisture as well as its causes…
“Where is the damp coming from?” is the start of our four-part advisory series.

It’s a hard nut to crack – sometimes even for recognised experts and restoration companies – when it comes to investigating the source of mould. Although it is a basic requirement that there has to be a proportional level of damp for every mould outbreak, it is nevertheless anything but a simple task to localise the sources of spreading damp. Learn what you need to be aware of in our four-part advisory series…
Thermal bridge analysis using Trotec thermal cameras
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
With energy-related renovation, thermal bridge analyses identifies large weak points in thermal insulation. Best example: Almost all thermographic pictures taken of an existing building with roller shutters make it clear that there are thermal weak spots. Evidently, these casings were not, or barely, insulated at all up until the 1970s – and since then have been tearing big holes in the energy efficiency rating of every house. Renovation companies should be able to prove whether action needs to be taken here…
Additional battery Flexpower 20V 1.500 mAh – back in stock
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Flexpower – the innovative multi-battery system from Trotec – impressed tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts so much that the additional battery sold out very quickly. This is because with Flexpower you are always equipped for a flexible and long-term use and save superfluous batteries and charging devices. Even searching for the right battery is coming to an end – in future you will simply change the device and not the battery. All the better that the additional battery Flexpower 20V 1.500 mAh is now back in stock!
NEW BD5A cross line laser – laser precision renders the spirit level unnecessary
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
This is how craftsmen and avid handymen work today: instead of laboriously fumbling around with a spirit level and pen, the new BD5A cross line laser comes into the picture, and bam – the device projects a 100% straight and right-angled laser cross on the opposite wall. The BD5A is about as big as a Rubik’s Cube and equally portable.
NEW particle measuring device BQ20 – reliably determines fine dust pollution
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
47,000 people die in Germany every year due to air pollution from fine dust and nitrogen oxide, as estimated by the Federal Environment Agency in 2014. Fine dust pollution increases continuously, even in your seemingly safe home and office. To prevent the simple act of breathing from becoming a hazard, we need a reliable particle measuring device such as the BQ20 – our compact new environment measuring unit for determining fine dust pollution, air temperature and humidity.
Carbon monoxide is life-threatening – BG20 detects a threat
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The gas is invisible, it cannot be smelled or tasted – yet it creeps through all cracks and doors as a deadly threat. People continue breathing as normal, but due to oxygen deficiency they first become tired, then unconscious and helpless. Even just a CO content of 1.28% in the air leads to death by suffocation in just one to two minutes. With the measuring device BG20, carbon monoxide values are determined precisely – and increasing critical values signalled via an alarm function.
