About Asbestos Ceiling Tiles
Asbestos ceiling tiles (also referred to as suspended ceilings, drop ceilings and acoustic ceilings) were generally created using amosite (brown) asbestos. They were a very common ceiling solution for various public and commercial buildings such as schools, hospitals, warehouses and more. Due to their durable and fireproof qualities, they were widely used across these sectors – mainly between 1920s and 1980s. Meaning, there are still many buildings which will still have asbestos ceiling tiles to this day.
Some asbestos ceiling tiles have quite a distinctive appearance, such as a characteristic pinhole mark and powdery surface, mild texturing and are square in shape. However, not all asbestos ceiling tiles will have the exact same look, which is why it is vital to have licensed asbestos removal experts enlisted to safely remove any ceiling tiles to reduce the risk of asbestos exposure.
How Dangerous Are Asbestos Ceiling Tiles?
Like all ACMs, like AIB or asbestos floor tiles for example, the asbestos fibres within the ceiling tiles or sealants can pose long-lasting health risks to anybody who may disrupt, break or attempt to remove the tiles.
If refurbishment or demolition works are due to take place within your building with asbestos ceiling tiles, it is essential for the building dutyholder to have the correct asbestos survey undertaken before any removals begin. Failure to do so could potentially result in the ceiling tiles crumbling, and therefore releasing the asbestos fibres into the vicinity – putting those in the area at immediate risk.
Despite some asbestos ceiling tiles having a trademark appearance, not everybody will be aware of its presence in their building. This is why it’s vital to have licensed asbestos contractors brought to your property to inspect, remediate or remove any ACMs compliantly, before the asbestos fibres are unknowingly disturbed or exposed to those in the vicinity.
Asbestos Ceiling Tile Removal
If there’s a chance that refurbishment or demolition works are going to be taking place at your property, whether it be commercial or domestic, it is absolutely necessary for you to have undertaken all the important steps beforehand, like an asbestos survey.
To keep building users safe from inhaling asbestos fibres as a result of broken asbestos ceiling tiles, proper training and competent contractors are required to compliantly remove any existing ACMs from your property.
