Special features of the old wooden stock of Raasepori
The old wooden house blocks of Tammisaari and Karjaa predate the use of asbestos, so asbestos is typically found in them in later repair layers: in floor coverings, waterproofing membranes and pipe insulation installed during the 1950s-1980s. In the industrial properties of Pohja, insulation materials and facade panels are more common.
Sampling a repair layer
Take the sample from exactly the layer being demolished, and mark on the bag which layer it comes from. In an old floor several coverings from different decades may lie on top of one another. Post the tightly packed sample as a letter to our laboratory in Espoo; from Raasepori the letter typically arrives the next business day.
