🏛️ History of Asbestos Use in Tile Products
From the 1920s through the late 1980s, asbestos was widely used in vinyl floor tiles, acoustic ceiling tiles, and roofing tiles. Manufacturers added asbestos to improve durability, fire resistance, and insulation properties. Many residential homes, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and military facilities installed asbestos tile products.
While intact tiles were considered relatively stable, cutting, sanding, scraping adhesives, or removing old tiles released microscopic asbestos fibers. Renovation projects, remodeling work, and demolition frequently created airborne dust. Workers and residents often inhaled fibers without realizing the long-term health risks.
