Vintage bag of Zonolite vermiculite insulation in residential attic space. Although this product's labeling indicates "Masonry Fill", the vermiculite insulation was installed throughout the attic area (under walking boards). Subsequent testing of this material indicated 2% tremolite asbestos.
Zonolite vermiculite has been found to be contaminated with amphibole asbestos minerals. Learn more about asbestos-contaminated vermiculite from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US-EPA) website

It seems this well insulated wall has a life of it's own. Day to day it changes, moves and shifts...

This is by far the best insulation for a true cathedral ceiling. With closed cell foam, there is no need to ventilate the soffits or roof. There will never be condensation, mold, or ice dams in this attic.
We had to take pictures at night, after work, because the crew was making really good progress. Things moved quickly.
Since the house was already gutted back to the bare studs, it was the perfect opportunity to re-insulate with modern insulation.

From the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US-EPA) website:
"If you have vermiculite insulation in your home, you should assume this material may be contaminated with asbestos and be aware of steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from exposure to asbestos. This Web page provides important information on how to protect yourself and your family if you suspect that you might have vermiculite insulation from Libby, Montana.

Added in red are labels indicating "After & Before" in reference to a reverse scenario as it might apply to asbestos abatement today, after removing the asbestos insulation.

During my lunchbreak at work, I went for a walk with one of my colleagues. We strolled across the Business Park Apeldoorn terrain, which used to house companies such as TNO and IT firms with on-premise datacenter/colocation.
Most of the buildings are empty and abandoned now. Large transformer arrays, huge chimneys, warning signs and leftover bits of technology are some of the silent witnesses.
Area of exposed insulation on large diameter pipe associated with an industrial boiler. The insulation was tested and found not to contain asbestos. Senior maintenance personnel indicated the original asbestos insulation was abated in the past and replaced with this newer material. Pre-formed notches in the newer insulation appear to be able to allow it to bend around curved mechanical equipment.
Most of the insulation is up. I left a few areas open where I need to finish up some wiring. All of the wires are run except for the lights. I need to wait to do that because I won't know where to place the lights until I install the drop ceiling so there's no point to mess with wires for the lights. All outlets are wired and working, and all wires are run to the light switches. Then I'll just have to go up to the ceiling to connect the lights to the switches when I get that far.
With the temperature below zero, I'm very glad to have something to keep this drafty window covered up.
Thanks to Ed Vielmetti for the info a while back:
Closed cell insulation in the cathedral ceiling with cellulose in knee walls. The cellulose was used as a cost saving measure and chosen by our client. We always recommend foam in a walls & ceilings.

Close-up detail example of used section of asbestos magnesia pipe insulation, showing highly fibrous nature of the material.
This particular sample contains both crocidolite and chrysotile asbestos mineral fibers. A slight bluish tint can be discerned in the material from the blue-colored asbestos mineral, crocidolite.
An uncommon application of an asbestos material: thick asbestos paper insulation on PVC pipe. PVC pipe tended to be installed in later era construction and typically appears uninsulated or usually may be seen with non-asbestos fiberglass or foam-rubber insulating materials installed on it.
However, in this case, reportedly an older supply of asbestos paper was found tucked away in forgotten basement storage areas and was installed on "newer" building components by building maintenance staff.

My sister, who used to collect these types of insulators, went nuts when I showed her this photograph.
Night, 3/4 moon, 100 second exposure with mini-maglite supplementing the insulators.
Close-up view of the asbestos insulation material packed on the inside portion of the Kewanee boiler door. The soft and crumbly insulation was tested and found to contain approx. 10% chrysotile asbestos along with a mixture of vermiculite flakes as well.
Looking at the southeast corner of the master bedroom on the second floor of the house on the grounds of the Tinsley Lliving Farm at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Canvas is used as wallpaper, and insulation.
The house was constructed in 1889 by William and Lucy (Nave) Tinsley. William Tinsley worked for Wells Fargo and migrated to Montana in 1864. Lucy was a dressmaker who emigrated to Virginia City, Montana, the same year. Both were originally from Missouri. They met in Virginia City, married in 1867, and relocated to Willow Creek in the Gallatin Valley (about 40 miles west of Bozeman). They built a homestead log cabin (about the size of the current blacksmith shop), and lived there until 1889. Their first child was born in 1868, and by 1889 they had eight kids.
William Tinsley built the family a two-story home out of logs taken from the nearby Tobacco Root Mountains. The oldest children helped haul the logs, which took two days to get to the homestead. The structure took two years to construct. Most of the items in the house were ordered from the Sears catalog. The family occupied the house until the 1920s.
The house was purchased by the museum in 1987, and moved from its original location to the Museum of the Rockies in 1989. Refurbished with items donated by Tinsley descendants, it now serves as a living history museum. The house sits on 10 acres of land, and includes a historically accurate kitchen garden, flower garden, chicken coop, farm implements, carriage house, blacksmith shop, root cellar, outhouse, functioning well and pump, storage shed, and fields. A full cellar was excavated beneath Tinsley House as well.
Visitors are free to touch and use many of the items in Tinsley House. A staff of historical re-enactors includes four women who cook, clean, sew, and perform chores around the house as well as a blacksmith who does ironmongery and repairs.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING COMPANY PROFILE:
We would like to introduce ourselves as one of the Pioneer of ROOF HEAT PROOFING in Pakistan. Our company was established in the year 2000.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Family Business Background.
Our Business Background is that we are importer of chemicals. When Pakistan got independence our grandfather Mr.Abdul Khaliq Gandhak wala (Late) was the first one to open a chemical outlet in Jodia Bazar Karachi. Every chemical related industrialist and Business men know him really well.
What is ROOF HEAT PROOFING Cool Tech?
In chemical field, we started ROOF HEAT PROOFING, a new business which fulfills the need of every house, Factory, Office, Hotel, School, Hospital and any other organization. ROOF HEAT PROOFING is the mixture of different types of chemicals, and Sun block chemicals from Pakistan, Korea, China and Germany.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Vision and Mission.
After 35 years all over the world such as USA, GULF, Saudi Arabia and Hot region countries Cool Tech brought ROOF HEAT PROOFING facility in Pakistan in 2000. Approx.: 8000sq ft clean Area can be done within a day without any disturbance and noise. You can use your roof conveniently and you can search that type of coating on internet by any search engine like yahoo Google etc. Just mention ROOF HEAT PROOFING. Your Air Conditioner Bill will be deducted around 20 to 30%. Recommended by Engineers and consultant all over the world.
WHY ROOF HEAT PROOFING IS NECESSARY FOR ALL TOP FLOORS.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING saves your money against high Air conditioner Bills.
Cool Tech Saves your money against high Air conditioner Bills. The best reason to use Cool tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is simply put……..You save Money! How much does it cost? Well, considering reduced electric bills, less wear and tear on air conditioner components, extended roof life, increased comfort and the beauty supplied, it’s almost FREE! Cool Tech will help pay for itself before you know it by enabling you to save 20-30% of your electricity cost. Cool Tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is a high built coating made from highly water-resistant polymers and additives that give flexibility and durability.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Protect your roof against hot sun rays.
Roof Heat Proofing provides SOLAR REFLECTANCE, which means it reflects most of the infrared and visible light striking the surface of the coating. Over 80% of the light striking Cool Tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is reflected back into the atmosphere and away from your roof. Then Roof Heat Proofing repels over 80% of the heat striking it. It bounces this heat back into the atmosphere. This synergistic effect means that Cool Tech reflects the majority of radiant energy away from the structure while the micro-porous structure of the coating dissipated and blocks any radiation that is absorbed and reduces the energy transmitted to the substrate.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Protect your roof against thermal shocks
Roof Heat Proofing also helps prevent thermal shocks. A hot roof can experience thermal shocks when a passing shower of cold rain hits the hot roof causing a rapid and tremendously violent contraction. These violent contractions can rip seams open, pop fasteners out of the roofs substrate, pull flashing out of the imbedding plies and generally destroys your roof. Keeping your roof cool prevents the radical contraction that leads to “ROOF SHOCK”, premature roof failure and costly replacement costs.
