What types of insulation contain asbestos?

Asbestos in insulation can often be difficult to identify with the naked eye and many homeowners only discover it during renovation projects or inspections. The material can be hidden in:

Pipe insulation, including heating pipes and water pipes.
Ceiling insulation, often as a thin layer of asbestos sludge.
Older boilers and ventilation systems.

To determine if your insulation contains asbestos, it is recommended to have an authorised asbestos test & analysis.

Signs of asbestos in insulation

Asbestos was previously used as an insulation material due to its fire retardant and moisture resistant properties. Although banned today, it is still found in many older buildings, especially in insulation around pipes, heating pipes and attics.

There are several signs that can indicate the presence of asbestos in insulation materials. For example:

Older pipe insulation with grey or white powder-like material.
A worn and brittle appearance of insulation around heating pipes.
Thin layers of sludge in attics that may contain asbestos fibres.

If in doubt, we always recommend contacting an authorised expert for an inspection.

How to remove asbestos in insulation correctly?

Removing asbestos-containing insulation is a complex process that requires certification and experience to ensure that harmful fibres are not released into the air. The process for asbestos removal Typically involves:

Identification of the material through sampling.
Delimiting the work area with dust-tight barriers.
Use of special protective equipment and vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters.
Removal of the material according to the Danish Working Environment Authority's regulations.
Disposal of asbestos waste at authorised facilities.

Always choose an authorised company like Miljøgruppen that meets the requirements for safe removal of asbestos-containing materials.
