Cover Asbestess Sheets By Woodburner

My clients had a pipe burst causing damage to a wall ceiling and floor in their living room.

Cover asbestess sheets by woodburner. Instead invest in a special asbestos encapsulate product. Wood burning stoves with cook top surfaces may contain asbestos in their pads and trivets. Currently the room is carpeted. Older stoves may also have asbestos in door gaskets.

These are applied like paint and don t cost a lot of money. It may also be found in insulating material around it. Under the carpet adhered directly to the beautiful 1 1 2 original oak flooring someone laid sheet vinyl. It is conventional to install wall shields over fire resistant wall spacers.

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets were applied in the same way that corrugated iron was applied either nailed to wooden strips bolted to the purlins or clipped directly to the purlins by clips of hoop iron or wire. A fire resistant wall shield is necessary to eliminate the threat of fire. The best wall shields help to radiate the heat from the stove into the room. These gaskets were so common that even today contractors often refer to modern stove gaskets that contain no asbestos as asbestos rope.

I am working on a repair project. We wondered if this 60 s era vinyl might contain asbestos and had it tested the backing does contain asbestos. Asbestos stove gaskets sometimes called stove rope were commonly used in wood burning stoves to seal them against air leaks. Bare wood or sheetrock walls around a wood stove are fire hazards.
