Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
