What do I do if my attic contains Zonolite (vermiculite)?
Zonolite or vermiculte is an insulation that was used in the 1950’s and 1960’s. I describe it as looking like silver or grey kitty litter. This insulation may contain asbestos that can be a danger to the homeowner and attic insulator if it is disturbed. Not all vermiculite insulation contains asbestos. The first thing to do if your attic contains this type of insulation is to have it tested for asbestos content. This can be done locally and is not overly expensive.
