Hi, first post so be gentle.
We just bought an older (1960's) house in the outer suburbs of Brisbane. We know it has some asbestos in it, but it is all well maintained and we are not worried about that.
However, we want to put in a new kitchen, with new tiles. The current kitchen has old vinyl sheet laid down. It looks old, but not overly old, so I'm not sure if it's been laid in the last decade or much longer ago. I pulled the metal rail off (that conceals the end of the vinyl at the entrance to the living room which is floor boards) and pulled up a little bit of the vinyl. The brand is LG (like the LG electronics brand, same logo and everything). The vinyl is glued to masonite boards using some sort of clear glue and the masonite is just nailed to the floor boards.
I've tried to find anything on LG vinyl ever containing asbestos, but I can't find anything. Obviously, the route to take is to get it tested, but if someone can tell me that LG never made asbestos vinyl, it will save me time and money getting it tested!
Thanks,
Chris
