What Are Asbestos-Containing Materials?

Asbestos-containing materials are materials that are known or are presumed to contain asbestos fibers. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can easily become airborne when disturbed or damaged, leading to inhalation and potentially harmful effects on the lungs.

Some common asbestos-containing materials include:

• Roofing and guttering materials
• Insulation materials
• Ceiling tiles and plaster products
• Flooring tiles and adhesives
• Pipe insulation
• Electrical switchboard backing

It's important to note that not all asbestos-containing materials pose an immediate risk to your health. The severity of the risk depends on factors such as the type of asbestos fibers, the quantity of asbestos in the material, and the condition of the material.

How Can You Tell If Your Property Contains Asbestos?

It's difficult to identify asbestos-containing materials just by looking at them. The only way to determine the presence of asbestos fibers in a material is through asbestos testing.

However, there are some signs that may indicate the presence of asbestos-containing materials in your property:

• The age of your property buildings constructed before the year 2000 are more likely to contain asbestos materials
• The type of materials used in construction, such as textured coatings, ceiling panels or plasterboard, roofing, and thermal insulation
• Damage, wear or tear, or renovation of materials that may release asbestos fibers into the air
• Pipes or insulation with a white fibrous coating
