Fireproof and Fancy-Free

In the 19th century, asbestos was all the rage. It was used in everything from fireproof curtains to insulation. People thought it was the ultimate material – until they realized it wasn't so great for humans.


The Asbestos Rockstars

Did you know that asbestos was used in vinyl records? Yep, those classic LPs were made with a mixture of vinyl and asbestos. It's no wonder the music industry was so hot – literally! (even since Egyptians! :)


Asbestos in Your Home?

If your home was built between the 1920s and 1980s, there's a good chance it contains asbestos. But don't panic! Unless it's disturbed, it's usually not a problem. Just remember: if it's not broken, don't fix it (yourself).
