Are Rhinoboard fibres harmful?
We have a tile entrance I want to rip up, but I noticed they installed Rhinoboard under the tile. I have a 2 1/2 year old and my wife's pregnant and I need to know if the fibres are ok to inhale. They won't be around when I rip it up and I'll clean up as much as I can, but I know the dust will go everywhere. Is it ok?

I don't think anyone here is qualified to answer that question. Your best option is to call the manufacturer, which I believe is Custom Building Products.

Ph 800-272-8786
I wouldn't think it would be harmful, but I'de call them just to find out.
