Knob and tube wiring is an antiquated wiring system that consists of cloth covered wire with soldered joints. The main reason knob and tube wiring is dangerous is that it is mostly aluminum wiring. As technology advances appliances located in homes are drawing more power. This causes the aluminum in the knob and tube to heat up and break down over time. The cloth protectant on the outside of the wiring deteriorates over time. As the cloth protectant falls away from the wiring, aluminum is exposed. If the aluminum gets hot it can start a fire in the wood framing of homes or in attic insulation.
