Artex is a common brand of decorative textured coating widely used in homes and commercial properties throughout Sheffield, especially from the 1970s to the late 1990s. While not all Artex contains asbestos, a substantial amount of it did, particularly the older formulations. Asbestos was added to Artex for its strength and fire-resistant properties. The danger arises when this material is disturbed – through drilling, sanding, or demolition – releasing microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhalation of these fibres can lead to serious respiratory diseases. That's why professional assessment and asbestos artex removal are critical for any suspect textured coatings in your Sheffield property.
