Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13053 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Those asbetos sidings became very popular in Sweden too (God only knows why) - no one could ever accuse them to be beautiful. Today, there's restrictions how to handle those houses and how to demount and leave them to destruction. | ||

Expert Posts: 2474 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Originally posted by wizard Those asbetos sidings became very popular in Sweden too (God only knows why) - no one could ever accuse them to be beautiful. Today, there's restrictions how to handle those houses and how to demount and leave them to destruction. It was undoubtedly cheap, maintenance minimal, rot-free, long lasting... But it's not correct to call it 'asbestos'. The product is 'asbestos cement', with cement or a cement mix being the major component in the sheets, the asbestos was the perfect reinforcement for it. If severely exposed to weather it didn't do too well, as in roofing in particular. Erosion would free asbestos to float around in the breeze. Asbestos is dangerous is breathed in, drink it or eat it and it's no problem. Like plutonium. Painted over with a weatherproof paint it's safe. Half of Australia was built with asbestos cement sheeting through the thirties, forties, fifties and sixties. Usually unattractive, to be sure, but the economy was needed in these times. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 802 Location: Norcross (Atlanta area), GA | Brand-F dealer from my hometown area advertising a '61 Plymouth from his used car department via a TV station. I remember seeing these commercials myself, during the local evening news, watching the cars drive through the TV studio and stopping on the studio's turntable as the dealer described each car being viewed. He definitely sounded more like an auctioneer, and I found myself trying to mimic him. Hey, how 'bout a Merkurry with a redio?
