The Paradise Theatre – Asbestos & Historic Renovations

Historic building renovations run smoothly when all the complications are considered – including asbestosToronto’s historic Paradise Theatre is a beautiful example of Art Deco style architecture on Bloor Street. The building at 1006 Bloor West has housed a theatre of one kind or another from the time it was designed in 1937 until 2006. As with many other older single-screen theatres, it fell into decline by the 1990s. Its fate was in limbo for several years, with the threat of demolition considered about seven years ago.

But, the period of uncertainty is over, and the venerable site is in the process of being completely restored. The building will house a restaurant along with a theatre and event space, with a mix of some private and mostly public programming.

Out With The Old…
The project has been underway for about three years. Before the new design and features could be developed, the building first had to be rehabilitated. That included:

Asbestos removal;
• Lead paint removal;
• Fixing a leaky wall (likely causing mould);
• Among others.

That work is now done, clearing the way for a bright new future for a lovely historic building.

Your Old Home
When it comes to your home, demolition and rebuilding typically aren’t the first choice when you want to change. With so many older homes in Toronto’s market, renovations are booming.

But, for a successful renovation, just like the Paradise Theatre, you have to include dealing with asbestos and other environmental issues before you begin.

• If your home was built before the mid-1980s, it is likely to include asbestos or asbestos containing materials in one form or another.
• It can take many forms, and appear anywhere in your home from floor tiles to wall panels to ceiling tiles and even textured paints. It could be in caulking, insulation, and in your attic.
• No amount of exposure to asbestos is considered safe, and any work that disturbs or damages walls or other structures can produce deadly asbestos dust.
• A successful renovation begins with including asbestos removal, mould removal, and any other legacy issues in your renovation budget.
