do concreate tiles have asbestos

1 answer

Concrete tiles themselves do not contain asbestos. However, some older building materials, including certain types of tiles and adhesives used in conjunction with them, may have contained asbestos. Asbestos was commonly used in construction materials until it was largely banned in many countries due to health risks associated with asbestos exposure.

If you have concrete tiles that were installed in an older building, it’s important to consider the possibility of asbestos in other materials (like adhesives or underlayment) used during installation. If you suspect that any materials in your home may contain asbestos, it’s advisable to have them tested by a professional before undertaking any renovations or repairs. Always prioritize safety and consult with a qualified contractor or asbestos abatement specialist if needed.
