I currently have an Eternit facade on our house. I would like to change to a wooden facade. Should one build over the Eternit or should it be removed?
 
You should remove it. Don't even consider anything else.

Search the forum ("eternit") and you'll get some tips on how to handle the eternit, and you won't have to ask if you, your neighbors, and all the plants on your property will die from removing the tiles.... ;)
 
Eternit costs money to get rid of. In my current house, it remains behind the new beautiful wooden facade.

Eternit *can* cost money to get rid of. I don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but there is at least one place in Stockholm where you can dispose of it for free.

If you have plenty of space, it's also a good alternative to bury the stuff. Really.

Again........WHY??
I can't see a single reason, most people I encounter attach directly on the eternit facade, it causes no harm where it sits.
 
Some say it is diffusion-tight, some say it is not.

That is, it allows moisture migration or not.

I would remove it outright.
I will remove ours in the future.

I got a price of 1200:- per ton to drop it off at the waste station. It's usually about 1-2 tons for a facade according to the waste station.

Keep in mind the work safety so you don't inhale the dust!

If I'm spending a heck of a lot of time building a new facade on the house, I want something solid to nail into - not eternit panels that crack when you nail the facade planks, not half-rotten nail battens that the eternit is attached to. If you have scaffolding around the house, it's a couple of days' work to remove the eternit.
 
Isn't there some form of diffusion barrier behind the panels? Makes me at least.....

Eternit is only good in one way where it sits! it can actually be painted to give a nicer/more personal touch. But if you want to replace it with wood and then hang it on your walls and paint every 7-10 years, be my guest :D
 
Of course, you should remove it!
Better to equip yourself properly once and clear away the mess than to have to use protection every time something needs to be done on the facade!
I also wouldn't want to sell a house with "hidden" eternit, imagine if the information gets lost and someone puts a chainsaw through the whole thing... not pleasant!

The cheapest way is to do it yourself; companies need to have licenses and stuff...

, just think if the information gets lost and someone uses the chainsaw on the whole thing... not nice!

Impossible to protect självmordskandidater, it's in their nature! ;D
 
I think there is a time aspect for companies working with this. I heard about a firm that took advantage of this by "rigging" the entire house before tearing it down. They put loops and wire between the slabs and then demolished everything in less than an hour. This way, they avoided all rigorous requirements since it was a short-term job. It could be an alternative. I don't remember what the company was called.
