An easy way to test any unknown material, burn it!! sounds daft but it you cut or break a small piece of and burn it (outside!) timber will burn with white or gray smoke and a yellow flame, plastics tend to have a black or very dark smoke and a whole range of coloured flames and asbestos just wont burn!! this is only a rough guide as there are always excptions but normaly works.
Yes that test would work but you would have to break part of the board off which is stupid if it is asbestos.
Looks like fibreboard to me. Made from wood fibres. That's what it looks like in the photo anyway. I'm an asbestos surveyor and see stuff like that all the time. I'm not saying it doesnt contain asbestos though, just in case it does...
Does anyone have any info on asbestos in a old 1880 house with lime plaster walls. I wouldn't think the old plaster walls would contain asbestos but I don't want to give the wrong advice. Also would wallpaper contain asbestos?
Asbestos unlikely, but impossible to tell by date alone as work may have been done to the property no one is now aware of.Does anyone have any info on asbestos in a old 1880 house with lime plaster walls
