Instead invest in a special asbestos encapsulate product.

Cover asbestess sheets by woodburner.

I am working on a repair project. They were available in standard sheets twenty seven and a half inches wide and in lengths of four five six seven eight and ten feet. Currently the room is carpeted. Older stoves may also have asbestos in door gaskets.

These are applied like paint and don t cost a lot of money. These gaskets were so common that even today contractors often refer to modern stove gaskets that contain no asbestos as asbestos rope. Corrugated asbestos cement sheets were applied in the same way that corrugated iron was applied either nailed to wooden strips bolted to the purlins or clipped directly to the purlins by clips of hoop iron or wire. It is conventional to install wall shields over fire resistant wall spacers.

Also a wood stove may have millboard cement sheet or asbestos paper and tape for insulating and fireproofing. Asbestos stove gaskets sometimes called stove rope were commonly used in wood burning stoves to seal them against air leaks. Bare wood or sheetrock walls around a wood stove are fire hazards. It may also be found in insulating material around it.

The best wall shields help to radiate the heat from the stove into the room. A fire resistant wall shield is necessary to eliminate the threat of fire. We wondered if this 60 s era vinyl might contain asbestos and had it tested the backing does contain asbestos. My clients had a pipe burst causing damage to a wall ceiling and floor in their living room.
