FW DEMO SAFETY
We take great pride in safety that we provide for both our workers as well as our customers and projects that we are awarded with. We educate and train each member of the team.
Asbestos is a heat-resistant mineral and was widely used in the 20th century to insulate buildings such as homes and offices. If asbestos is already in your building and is secure and enclosed, there is no problem. However, if you’re considering renovations, demolition or other projects in a building built before 1990, you should contact FW Demo for advice.
Asbestos was once common in insulation materials, especially in attics and walls. Asbestos particles pose significant health risks for those who live and work in places where asbestos fibres were disturbed. Some vermiculite insulation may also contain asbestos. Asbestos fibres, when disturbed, can spread in the air. We have the experience and the necessary equipment. At FW Demo, we assess every situation, and provide abatement if necessary. Get in touch with us and book your free consultation.

Asbestos
The term asbestos is a generic designation referring usually to six types of naturally occurring mineral fibers that are or have been commercially exploited.
These fibers belong to two mineral groups: serpentines and amphiboles. The serpentine group contains a single asbestiform variety: chrysotile; five asbestiform varieties of amphiboles are known: anthophyllite asbestos, grunerite asbestos (amosite), riebeckite asbestos (crocidolite), tremolite asbestos, and actinolite asbestos.
These fibrous minerals share several properties that qualify them as asbestiform fibers: they are found in bundles of fibers that can be easily separated from the host matrix or cleaved into thinner fibers; the fibers exhibit high tensile strengths, they show high length: diameter (aspect) ratios, from a minimum of 20 up to >1000; they are sufficiently flexible to be spun; and macroscopically, they resemble organic fibers such as cellulose.
Since asbestos fibers are all silicates, they exhibit several other common properties, such as incombustibility, thermal stability, resistance to biodegradation, chemical inertia toward most chemicals, and low electrical conductivity.
