Asbestos has been banned in construction and building materials since 1999.

What is Artex?

Artex is a textured wall covering that was popular in the UK from the 1960s to the 1980s. It is made up of a non-asbestos-based coating that is applied to walls and ceilings to create a textured pattern. The coating can be applied in a variety of patterns and finishes, including swirls, stippling, and ripple.

Why is Artex dangerous?

While the coating used in modern Artex is non-toxic, the original Artex formulas contained asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction and insulation materials before its ban in 1999. Asbestos Artex is dangerous because if it is damaged or disturbed, it can release asbestos fibers into the air that can be inhaled and cause respiratory illnesses like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
