Wood burning stoves with cook top surfaces may contain asbestos in their pads and trivets. Asbestos stove gaskets sometimes called stove rope were commonly used in wood burning stoves to seal them against air leaks. It is conventional to install wall shields over fire resistant wall spacers. 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.

Also a wood stove may have millboard cement sheet or asbestos paper and tape for insulating and fireproofing. Many people will say that using soapy water plastic wrap and duct tape can be used as a cover for asbestos pipe but it s just not worth the chance that this system fails. Bare wood or sheetrock walls around a wood stove are fire hazards. The best wall shields help to radiate the heat from the stove into the room.

I am working on a repair project. Older stoves may also have asbestos in door gaskets. These are applied like paint and don t cost a lot of money. My clients had a pipe burst causing damage to a wall ceiling and floor in their living room.

We wondered if this 60 s era vinyl might contain asbestos and had it tested the backing does contain asbestos. A fire resistant wall shield is necessary to eliminate the threat of fire. 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.
