Asbestos in Plasterboard?
The internal walls in my house are plaster board. I'll probably need to re-plaster some of the kitchen walls as part of the reno's I hope to do. The plaster is quite thick (8-10mm) and quite rough on the reverse side. Its quite powdery like plaster and has a hemp fibre through it much like old plaster cornice. Initially I wouldnt have thought there would be asbestos in it but everything I am reading is suggesting that almost everything built prior to 1982 would most likely have asbestos in it. Even in this plasterboard? - the house was built in the 50's.
