Leighton Jantz Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hopefully someone recognizes this tile, it's 12X12, quite stiff, seems very much like the 9X9 asbestos but I'm not sure. It's poorly glued down to a concrete floor of a house built in '71 Click to Enlarge 1637.51 KB Click to Enlarge 1538.35 KB Click to Enlarge 1048.16 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighton Jantz Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 The 3rd pic shows 1 tile flipped over to show that odd arrow emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Gotta test it to know, but I've found asbestos in tiles looking like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The 3rd pic shows 1 tile flipped over to show that odd arrow emblem. Just so you can file it away for when you need it: The arrow tells the installer which way the pattern goes. When you install the tiles you put the arrows always facing the same way and when you're done it looks the way its supposed to look. Without the arrows, you go cross-eyed trying to figure it out. And if you get one wrong, it looks like a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Possible-asbestos-containing tiles did indeed come in 12x12 size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighton Jantz Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks guys. I knew from previous threads that asbestos tiles came in 12X12, I was just hoping someone would recognize this tile and give me a positive ID. Thanks Jim I suspected that was what the arrows were for, but I thought with the fletching missing on part of the arrow that would help with IDing, as there was no other markings on the bottom of loose tiles.

John Kogel Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 They did not use the black glue, so that is a good thing. Anytime you see black glue, it will be saturated with abestos. I recognize that pattern as typical 70's ugly. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
