Asbestos?

Johannes Kullgren · 8 Nov 2020 at 9:16 AM

Hello all puzzlers!

I have an old plastic mat glued to chipboard. The house is a row house built in 1969, slab on grade with a raised wooden floor.
I am going to install a new parquet floor and could lay it on top of this, but the plastic mat smells a bit bad so I would prefer to remove it.

My question is if anyone can answer straightforwardly if this contains asbestos?

Best regards,
Johannes

Old gray vinyl flooring with possible asbestos concern, partially peeled back, over chipboard, near a wall with yellow tape; planning parket replacement.

PVC on a textile backing, I would say.

Looks more like linoleum but there's absolutely no asbestos in that.
