[quote=Anonymous]I will say my mother pulled up an entire basement of 1940s black asbestos tiles, back in the 70s when my parents bought the house. She is now 80, in perfect health. I do understand why people are nervous around asbestos. In your case I would lay LVP over them and forget they exist. Asbestos are incredibly solid and not a danger as long as you don't move them. People have been scared into fearing them more than they need to. Asbestos tiles are a danger when they are being pulled up not from the tiles but from the mastic glue being disturbed. As for the tiles themselves, they can be a danger when they become friable enough, but I do recall an Asbestos tile remover confess in all his years he had only encountered truly friable conditions once. Just once. [/quote]
