What Materials May Contain Asbestos?

Asbestos was widely used in the construction of buildings between the 1950s and 1980s. Any building constructed before 2000 is likely to contain asbestos-containing materials.

The following are some materials that may contain asbestos:

• Asbestos cement products such as pipes, roofing sheets, and gutters
• Insulation materials such as lagging, floor tiles, and pipe insulation
• Asbestos insulating board (AIB) used in fireproofing, ceilings, and walls
• Textured coatings, such as Artex
• Sprayed coatings on ceilings, walls, and steel beams

It is important to note that asbestos can be present in a variety of other materials used in buildings. Therefore, thorough testing and surveying are necessary to identify and manage ACMs.
