Yep, time for another asbestos thread. I've been reading a bit about popcorn ceilings in the USA, and these often had asbestos mixed in.
I have several different textured ceilings in my house from '64. Most of the ceilings look rough, but one of the ceilings has a slightly different texture, very similar to these popcorn ceilings. Has anyone here experienced asbestos in textured ceilings/paint in Sweden?
Or do we have a painter who could guide me on what kind of texture this might be? It looks a bit like chips/fiber, right?
Thanks in advance!
 
  • Textured ceiling resembling a popcorn ceiling, potentially containing asbestos, with a rough, grainy surface typical of 1960s construction.
  • Textured ceiling resembling a popcorn style, possibly containing asbestos. The surface has a rough, uneven finish, similar to fiber or chip texture.
  • Textured ceiling surface resembling a popcorn ceiling, with a rough, bumpy texture. Potentially similar to those containing asbestos.

In houses from the 1960s, eternit boards often appear as fire protection on walls and ceilings in boiler rooms; otherwise, it was not common. In other places, it was not usual.

It is easy to send in a sample for analysis if you want to be sure.

I understand that a sample is the only sure way to know for sure, just wondering if anyone has encountered it? I'm not going to touch the ceiling right now anyway, so the sample will have to wait until the day I need to screw into it again.
 
Looks like a painted woodchip wallpaper in that case, just painted paper. If you can see seams, it might be difficult if it's been painted multiple times, very common on gypsum ceilings from the 60s-70s.
