ASBESTOS?

[Bytet]

In our basement ceiling these panels are installed, is it asbestos/eternit, anyone knowledgeable?

Eternitskivor. Contains asbestos.
If they are on the ceiling without mechanical impact, it should be fine. If you start filing or processing the boards, asbestos fibers will be released.

Looks like asbestos boards.

Yes, I know that, it was more a question of whether they were that or not

Looks like it

Looks like typical Eternit/asbestos cement.

If it is in a former boiler room, it would be protected with eternit plates in the ceiling, may also have been used throughout the entire basement.

Yes, I've heard that, but actually it's in the entire garage but not in the old boiler room. So they'll just stay where they are, too much work to take down thanks for the response.

You can paint over and then you bind up the surface so it doesn't dust.

Yes, it was painted once upon a time, but we'll add a few more layers later, we also have it in a room we're going to turn into a workspace, there's probably no danger at all in spending long periods daily in a room with these boards?

 

[jonaserik]

No, as long as you don't scrape and drill into it.

 

[Bytet]

No, as long as you don't scrape and drill at it

Thanks for the answer.
