Sheet Vinyl Asbestos
My Congoleum vinyl sheet flooring was installed in 1984. Does it contain asbestos? 800 number to check this?
One contractor says he will tear up my old kitchen flooring and “don’t worry about it.” Another says he can’t do it because it definitely contains asbestos because it was installed in 1984. He wants to encapsulate the existing floor and lay a 1/4 ” on top of that. Obviously the latter contractor wants more money. Who is right?
Very doubtful if it does. But you can call 1- 800 -274 -3266 to contact them. M-F 9-5 EST . Most vinyl that contained asbestos was in the VCT 12×12 ( approx) size squares. I don t ever recall sheet goods having asbestos and most all was out lawed anyway in late 70s. Won t hurt to call anyway . If this is the only layer of flooring down you can go over it once w/ the luan and vinyl. GL
