Adhesion failure and/or detachment of ceramic tiling are common building defects. Bonding rupture of this type of coating presents a serious risk to people's safety, in particular if it occurs on external façades. It may be avoided by earlier non-destructive inspections. This paper presents the results of an active thermography investigation in which adhesive bonding defects of ceramic coatings were examined. A set of non-destructive results was gathered based on a set of defects induced in the adhesive layer and an inappropriate adhesive technique or forced detachment between the ceramic tile and the bed layer.
