Special features of the Savonlinna building stock
The building stock of Savonlinna includes old villas on the shores of Saimaa, apartment blocks in the centre and 1960s-1980s suburbs. In villa properties asbestos is typically found in later repair layers, while in apartment blocks it appears in floor adhesives, in the substrate of vinyl flooring and in bathroom waterproofing membranes.
Sampling during a visit to a summer place
At a holiday property it pays to take the sample during the visit and post it only on the way home. A tightly sealed sample stays unchanged, so it can travel with you and be dropped in the post later. Mark the property and the structure on the bag so the information is not forgotten on the journey.
