Removing Asbestos and Installing New Insulation

External Brackets Directly Attached to the Roof

In this project, we installed new 6" aluminum gutters with external brackets directly attached to the roof. The corner finish was placed in an anthracite color. It's also possible to opt for internal brackets, according to personal preference. Installation is always done using stainless steel screws.

Tackling the Roof

In addition, we removed the asbestos from the roof and then installed new sandwich panels. These panels have a thickness of 100 mm of insulation.

Precision Installation of Insulation

Count on Gallenco's craftsmanship to install suitable, high-quality insulation in your roof. The thickness of this insulation is a factor for those looking to apply for a subsidy. In this project, roof insulation with an Rd-value of 4.5 m²K/W was chosen, which is the minimum requirement. You have the flexibility to choose, but it is worth considering applying a thicker layer of insulation when you decide to insulate.

Subsidy for Asbestos Removal 2023

Various financial support measures have been provided for different groups to make Flanders asbestos-free as soon as possible. If you are a private individual looking to remove asbestos, you can expect a subsidy of €8 per square meter in combination with insulation installation.

And for businesses?

Companies, enterprises, schools, and healthcare institutions can receive a customized subsidy to remove asbestos from roofs and facades. This subsidy is less straightforward than for private homes. If you want to rid your business premises and buildings of asbestos, you can contact VLAIO (Agency for Innovation and Entrepreneurship). You can find a comprehensive overview of subsidies and financing options on their website.
