In 1964 did home builders use abststos floor tiles.in the homes of Eagle Estates.medford, new york?
Question:
Answers:
In 1964 they absolutely did. Before the 1980's, nearly all vinyl tiles were asbestos. If the tiles are 9" x 9", they are asbestos.
If they are 12" x 12" they are still probably asbestos, unless they are not the original tiles.
Asbestos was commonly used in both floor tile and mastic (adhesive) during that time period. Also, it is possible that renovations introduced asbestos containing materials in the following years. If you have material you are not sure of, best to treat it as if it does contain asbestos or have it tested.
