The fireproof properties of asbestos were highly valued 2000 years ago. But this naturally occurring silicate also has its downsides: Inhaling asbestos fibres endangers health. This is why asbestos of any kind has been banned in Switzerland since 1990. Asbestos was used in most older buildings. As long as the asbestos fibres are bound to building materials, there is no risk. It only becomes dangerous when these materials are sanded, milled or drilled. Materials contaminated with asbestos may be
- Tile adhesive
- Roofs, facades and windows
- Electrical installations
- Top and base plasters
- Fire protection boards, riser zones and fireplaces Floor, wall and ceiling coverings
