Where to buy replacements for asbestos cement shingle siding: this article explains why, where & how to obtain replacement non-asbestos fiber cement shingles to repair or replace asbestos cement shingle siding. We discuss why & how to paint asbestos cement or fiber cement building siding. This document assists building buyers, owners or inspectors who need to identify asbestos materials (or probable-asbestos) in buildings by simple visual inspection. In the website sections listed below, we provide photographs and descriptive text of asbestos insulation and other asbestos-containing products to permit identification of definite, probable, or possible asbestos materials in buildings. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2013 InspectAPedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Author Daniel Friedman. Sources of Replacements & Tools for Asbestos Cement Wall Shingles
Contemporary cement asbestos product manufacturers make reinforced fiber-cement wall and roofing shingles and other products which look like, perform similarly to, and need to be installed similarly to the original asbestos-cement shingles - but these new products are free of asbestos. The replacements for asbestos cement wall siding products are reinforced with a variety of fibers including fiberglass. Other replacements for asbestos-cement siding use both different fibers and a different aggregate (perlite) to replace the asbestos. Some of the substitute products have been in use for more than 30 years (2008). For maintenance or replacement of asbestos-cement wall siding or roof shingles (or wall siding) contact Supradur Manufacturing Corporation, PO Box 908, Rye NY 10580 800-223-1948, or from within New York State, call 914-967-8230. Ask about their Supradur(R) mineral fiber shingles. For handling and disposal guidance concerning old cement-asbestos wall siding material contact the US EPA, your state Department of Environmental Protection/Conservation, or your local building and health departments. Sources of Tools for Cutting Fiber Cement Shingles: Roofing Shingles or Wall Siding ShinglesWatch out: However very old, weathered and worn asbestos cement shingles, such as on a roof or sometimes on a wall that has been painted and is peeling, or roofing or wall cement asbestos shingles that are mishandled during demolition (breaking into many small pieces, running hand or power saws to cut the material) risks creating airborne asbestos-contaminated dust which could be a health and environmental hazard.
Added demolition and disposal cost of cement-asbestos productsAlso in some communities special measures and added costs are involved because of a requirement for air-testing during removal and possibly costs to dispose of the material in an appropriate landfill. (After all, originally this material came from the land.) Thanks to reader Van Moore for technical editing and requesting clarification. Painting Cement Asbestos Building SidingShould I paint my asbestos cement shingles? Do you need to use special paint for cement asbestos siding? Painting cement asbestos siding or non-asbestos fiber cement siding is mostly a cosmetic decision. We have never seen this material in a worn, friable condition, but should that occur, one might paint the surface also to stop fiber shedding and to preserve the material. Fiber cement shingles, both new non-asbestos product and the older asbestos-cement product are provided from the manufacturer with a coated surface, usually white. When the asbestos cement siding is soiled or moldy or has an algae coating we prefer to gently clean the surface with a sprayer, perhaps a deck cleaner solution. If you use a power washer be careful to spray "down" (to avoid blowing water into the building walls) and to keep far enough away that you do not damage the siding or "rough it up" which may cause more rapid deterioration or even fiber or asbestos release. But sometimes the asbestos cement or fiber cement shingles just look soiled and do not clean up enough to satisfy the homeowner. In general, this siding material can be painted using normal house paints. Check with your paint suppliers because some paints may not be recommended for the surface. But once you paint the siding, you've converted a "no maintenance" surface into one that will occasionally need to be re-painted for cosmetic reasons. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)...
