Asbestos Pipe Lagging
One of the trickiest areas where Asbestos was heavily implemented was piping and insulation. Piping is one of the elements of households which the majority of us pay little attention to. After all, as long as there are no leaks or sink blocks, why would anyone need to ensure if everything works fine? The cases of Asbestos on pipes is even less known which may put people at risk or Asbestos fibre inhalation.
Why was Asbestos Pipe Insulation and Lagging used?
Asbestos was often called a ‘magic material’ by many in the construction trade and subsequently used in high quantities. Of course, this was before the health risks were discovered. Asbestos can be a highly effective insulation material, this is why it was used on pipes and similar utilities, keeping them dry and in good condition for longer periods of time. It was also affordable and easy to use.
