Design asbestos-free remodeled homes for deconstruction
This guide focuses on salvaging non-asbestos materials from projects, and incorporating used materials into remodeling home improvements. Consider designs that require using a limited palette of materials in order to make future salvage more worthwhile. Future deconstruction of areas in an asbestos-free home will be easier if that is in your game plan.
Opt for simple designs with fewer elements; these are easier to take apart and reuse.When possible, use nails and screws rather than adhesives.
Use a limited palette of materials to make future salvage more worthwhile. Larger quantities of a single material are more marketable than small amounts.
Try and design your project using standard lengths of wood to prevent excess waste and extra work!
