Remove glass panels from doors, windows and facades

Glasal is a brand name for a type of facade cladding material consisting of cement-bonded fiber boards. These panels were used as cladding and as material for doors and windows in the 1970s and 1980s. Originally, these panels were reinforced with asbestos. Glasal consists of flat sheets of asbestos cement with a smooth top layer. The color may vary.

As with other uses of asbestos, Glasal sheets are dangerous if damaged, aged or removed. When asbestos is released from these sheets, asbestos fibers can become airborne and inhaled, posing serious health risks.

If you have Glasal panels on doors, windows and facades of your building, measures are required to prevent asbestos fibers. A recognized asbestos removal company can safely remove and replace the plates. The professionals are trained to identify and remove all Glasal asbestos panels in a safe and responsible manner.

The removal process includes closing off the area of the work and erecting warning signs to inform the public that the work is being carried out. The removal of the Glasal asbestos sheets is then carried out by specialist workers equipped with the appropriate equipment, including respirators and protective clothing to prevent exposure to asbestos fibres.

The removed Glasal asbestos sheets are then securely packaged and transported to an approved asbestos dump for safe disposal. After completion of the work, the area will be thoroughly cleaned and tested for any remaining asbestos fibers to ensure that the indoor and outdoor environment is safe.

It is essential to only use a certified asbestos removal company for the removal of Glasal asbestos sheets from doors, windows and facades. This ensures safe and proper breakdown of the material, keeping the environment free from the hazards of asbestos fiber exposure.
