Typical findings in the Vantaa suburban stock
The housing stock of Vantaa is dominated by 1960s-1980s prefabricated apartment blocks and terraced houses in Myyrmäki, Korso, Hakunila and Tikkurila. There asbestos is most commonly found in floor adhesives, in the substrate of vinyl flooring, in tile adhesive and in pipe insulation. In the industrial and warehouse properties around the airport, asbestos cement sheets on facades and roofs are also common.
What to write on the accompanying note
Include the order number, where the sample was taken and the type of material in your own words - for example the adhesive under the bathroom floor tile and construction year 1972. Information on the construction year and the material helps the laboratory direct the analysis correctly, even though the final answer always rests on measurement.
