Removing Non-Friable Asbestos Ballina
Your Asbestos Removal Experts
Non-friable asbestos is a type of asbestos that is mixed with bonding materials like cement or resin, making it more stable and less likely to release harmful fibres. Commonly found in products like fibro sheeting, vinyl floor tiles, and roofing materials, non-friable asbestos poses minimal risk when intact and undisturbed. However, cutting, drilling, or breaking these materials can release hazardous fibres into the air. Proper identification and handling are crucial. Ballina Demolitions specialises in the safe removal of non-friable asbestos, using industry-approved methods to prevent contamination. Our licensed team ensures your property remains safe and fully compliant with regulations.
How To Spot Non-Friable Asbestos
To spot non-friable asbestos, look for solid, dense materials commonly used in buildings before the late 1980s. These include fibre cement sheeting (commonly called fibro), vinyl floor tiles, textured wall coatings, and corrugated roofing. Non-friable asbestos is bonded with cement or resin, making it more rigid and less likely to release fibres unless damaged. Signs of deterioration, such as cracks, breakage, or weathering, may increase the risk of exposure. If you suspect non-friable asbestos in your property, avoid disturbing the material.
