Insulation in your home is something that many take for granted and rarely think about unless they are uncomfortable. However, good insulation results in less energy costs and a more comfortable home environment. Unfortunately, many homes have been built with vermiculite insulation containing hazardous asbestos fibers.
How Do I Know if I Have Vermiculite Insulation?
Luckily, vermiculite insulation is often easy to recognize because its appearance resembles small pebbles that are grey, brown, silver or gold. It was a very popular form of insulation used in homes and buildings over the course of many years.

If you have an older home that includes certain types of flooring such as asphalt tiles, vinyl and even sheet vinyl, it may have been installed using material that contains asbestos. It may be a surprise to learn that asbestos has been used for 100′s of years in many cultures. It was a popular building material due to its strength, durability and flame resistant properties.
Unfortunately, during the industrial revolution, asbestos became very popular and, at the time, was thought to be a good material for using to build new homes and businesses. Of course, by the 1980′s, the link between asbestos and mesothelioma was apparent and could no longer able to be challenged by the makers.
