For around a 1/3 the cost of replacement.
After many years of exposure, asbestos cement surfaces go through a weathering process causing exposure of the asbestos fibres. The unstable nature of weathered asbestos has been a major cause for concern so the Crommelin Fibro Seal System was developed. Because Fibro Seal is so affective it comes with a ten-year guarantee in writing.
Fibro Seal painted white will also dramatically reduce the temperature
within the roof cavity improving comfort and saving on air-conditioning
costs.
The data below shows the effect on roof cavity temperature when weathered asbestos roofs are painted white. This related to improved comfort for the occupants, and savings on air-conditioning.
