Aside aluminum roofing sheets and other types of roofing sheets, asbestos roofing has in recent times become an alternative for many building contractors.

Due to its fantastic thermal qualities and being extremely fire retardant, it is not surprising that asbestos has been used extensively in roofing and insulation in some parts of Nigeria. Cement sheets are one of the most commonly used roofing products that the mineral is found in, and there are still a large number of buildings around the country that have an asbestos cement sheet roof.

The problems with the roof sheets occur as they deteriorate with age and consequently become more brittle.

A two and half feet by six feet of asbestos roofing costs N1200 as at the time of writing this article. Prices may change depending on when you get access to this content.
