Asbestos tile – Vinyl sheet flooring can cover your old floor quickly without too much hassle. It is one of the easiest floors to install. It can be laid straight over old asbestos tiles as long as the old tiling does not break apart. There are plenty of patterns to choose from and, because it comes in large slices, there is very little glue that is needed to hold it in place.

Buy enough vinyl sheets to cover the area plus a little more.
