ASBETOS ROOFING SHEET

Due to fantastic thermal insulation, Good strength and Durability asbestos are used in roofing.
At some percentage, asbestos is added with Portland cement with water and pressed under grooved or tooth roller to give a series of waves or corrugation. Corrugations are given to roofing sheets to increase the strength and rigidity of sheets and also ensure a quick flow of rainwater.

• Asbestos is a very good thermal insulator and increases the energy efficiency of the building.
• It is highly resistant to fire and does not burn easily.
• It forms a very strong material when mixed with cement and used as an additive to form a composite material called asbestos cement.
• It is a very inexpensive and a very cost-effective material, hence widely used.
• It is extensively used as a protective roofing material in corrugated form.
• It is highly durable and weather proof.
• It is resistant to damage from termites.
• Asbestos is very easy to clean and maintain but difficult to repair
