Before any renovation or demolition you should find out if asbestos containing materials are present. If during renovation, material containing asbestos is found, exposed, damaged, or frayed, you should immediately stop and not disturb the remaining material until it is assessed by a professional.

There are several minerals commonly known as asbestos. These minerals can be used to make products strong, long-lasting and fire-resistant.
Before 1990, asbestos was mainly used for insulating buildings and homes against cold weather and noise. It was also used for fireproofing.
