Asbestos - What is the replacement for it? Outdoor cladding on timber building

May 29, 2006 1 Replies

Hi, Does anyone know what the replacement is for asbestos when used as external cladding? Asbestos lasts (almost for ever), doesn't need treating, painting, preserving. I was wondering what the direct replacement would be.....



Surely there must be an asbestos alternative? .. apart from plastic cladding....



Cheers

Fibre Cement - very similar to asbestos cement, but with the asbestos replaced with cellulose fibres.
