Vinyl asbestos floor panels (Floor-Plex tiles)

Due to their specific structural properties, building materials containing asbestos, such as vinyl asbestos tiles (also known as Floor-Flex tiles), were frequently used in Germany, particularly in the 1960s/70s. The reason for this was their almost unlimited durability and the excellent cleaning capabilities they offered in rental apartments. This information sheet explains how to identify asbestos-containing vinyl tiles and provides important advise to avoid potential health hazards. Additionally, we inform you about the measures to take if you discover damaged tiles and how to proceed in such cases.
