Hi everyone,

I’ve found these boards under my stairs (storage area) in my house.

Does this look like AIB?

I’ve lived here for 2.5 years with this exposed, should I be worried about exposure given that it's been sitting there for a couple of years?

I am really worried about it.

Thank you!

Hi,

Recently, I discovered a 8cm x 8cm hole in my living room wall that exposes the internal structure.

It’s a grey, brittle, and fibrous-looking board.

I suspect this is Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) used as fireproofing in the past. I have lived here for around 3 years and only just noticed/investigated this.

I am extremely anxious: Does this look like asbestos to you?

Thanks in advance!
