Abestor causes cancer,it not good.

meetvic:


Thank you for the enlightenment. Please give me names of alternative roofing sheets that are safe and pocket friendly, so that I can make a chhoice other than the 2 being discussed right now. I really need it.

Aluminium is what you need. Pocket friendly,depends on the total sqaure metre of your structure and the gauge. You can see my signature

Abudu2000:
they both have their pros and cons but lately aluminium has really been depended on even though its colours fades away quickly but due to its heat absorbing rate but asbestos is still widely used in very nice architectural building even though its not safe health wise and less durable too

Colour fading is not true if you get the quality material

agentakins:
Aluminium is prone to rust? Get your facts well.

You dey mind the guy? Saying what he has no idea of.

nikkypearl:
Hmm are you sure? I grew up in a house where asbestos. Was used for more than 26yrs,and there is no record of Cancer! Just curious oo!enlighten me abeg!

this is very true! Please do not not ignore, depends on how old you are because it has just been discovered or perharps you had a lucky escape.

How do you know that that your old uncle or neighbor who died when you were young living in that house full of asbestos didn't die of asbestos poisoning? i bet you were told that they died of witchcraft .

Seriously asbestos is causes cancer.

Heat reflection: aluminium is a metal, asbestos a ceramic. Al is better

Health implications: dust from asbestos have been proven to cause health problems iver the years, Al sheets do not pulverize: Al is better

Resistance to cracking: Naughty kids thriwing stones on your roof: Asbestos would crack, Aluminium wont: Al is better

Growth of flora and fauna: if you have trees around: Asbestos would support algae etc growing as it is porous and can store nutrients. Aluminium sheets are not porous. Al is better

Weight on structure: Asbestos is probably four times or more denser than aluminium and so represents more weight to your building: Al is better

Recyclability: aluminium is 100% recycleable, asbestos is not. Scrap value of aluminium is high. Al is better

Ease of forming, handling and assembly: dropping a batch of asbestos during building, you would probably lose them all, but aluminium can drop and not damage and as well can be formed into various roof patterns ( sinusoidal corrugation or roll formed). Al is better

Aesthetics: Both are beautiful after assembly. However, aluminium sheets can come in various color coated forms to suit the building wall colors. Asbestos as far as I have seen is black/gray.

Cost: Not sure of Asbestos but Aluminium is relatively more expensive than galvanized Iron. However, long life span, repairability, recyclability should reduce the total cost of ownership of aluminium projected over the years. Solid Aluminium coated sheets from reputable companies like First Aluminium have the coating life up to 15 years before fading.

I am afraid. The ceiling ( not roof) of my house is absestors. Am i safe or i should pack out?

what!? I suggest you move out already, to be on the save side you loose nothing.

Don't panic
Stop taking Nlders comment serious.
They read or heard something doesn't mean it's happening. (How many cases can they point out?)

If it causes cancer as ppl are saying, everybody for don die finish for nja cos I can't count how many (new) houses in my area that are roofed with asbestos.

Though Aluminum roofing is better but the cancer rumor of asbestos doesn't stop ppl from using it.

My dad's old house was built with asbestos and pop ceiling.

We are 100% healthy......

yea, keep telling yourself that Its rumour or that you are %100 healthy until some thing goes wrong. Illiterate!

Sunnycliff:
Asbestos is no longer conducive for human health after 25 years. Its carcinogenic especially the dust coming from it as it ages with time.

Google the health implications of asbestos roofing sheets. Most European countries have banned the use of it as a roofing sheet

They have stopped using asbestos in both roofing and ceiling materials but it is because the the word asbestos had become a trademark, that's why people still referring to it as asbestos. Of the entire components, the single material referred to as asbestos is no longer there.

[/s] its a Sunday morning and I am ganna keep it holy......

I don't even understand why the two of you are attacking each other. If you go to market to buy these ceramic roofing or ceiling materials, it is already written there "asbestos-free" because most educated people are already aware that asbestos causes cancer. That's why we still have them in market today because they are safer to use now than before.

EastanPower:
Guys, please which is better between aluminium and asbestos roofing sheets?

What are their prices too.

Thank you.

I will go for Aluminum. The best Eco friendly and durable roofing sheet for now. Note: Always work with experts who can discern original products to achieve desired goal.

Again, the issue of old "asbestos" causing cancer had more to do with the workers where the material was being mined and the factory where it was being used to produce roofing and ceiling materials than with the end users who are sleeping under it. This is because it has to do with particles of this asbestos going directly to the lungs via inhaling. That was why the studies on this issue concentrated on the workers that dealt with asbestos rather than end users. Because as it is in Nigeria today, many households actually used this old ceramic ceiling materials that contain asbestos but the cases of lung cancers are not that rampant.

agarawu23:
[s][/s] its a Sunday morning and I am ganna keep it holy......

well.. keep it as holy as you wish to, as i am not a church goer i intend to carry on with my unholiness so i still stand by my earlier comment whether you agree or not.

GOOD LUCK with keeping sunday holy hyporcrite! you forgot mentioning my elder brother earlier on you didn't remember keeping sunday holy then did you?

Are you done with your e-bragging, you intellectually challenged lout?

'captain of industry' my arse. Despite your foolish words, at least the OP now knows that asbestos is bad for his health. If - unlike yourself - he has something to live for, he will do something positive about it.

Many of them are not up-to-date.

My friend, I am surprised to be hearing you talk about asbestos roofing sheet in the year 2016. For your info, the companies using asbestos fibre to produce roofing and ceiling sheets have stopped using that since over 20 years ago. They have been producing "New Technology" (NT) roofing and ceiling sheets since then. Most recently they now have their latest products, both roofing and ceiling called "KALSI " ceiling and roofing sheets. These new products now in the mkt is far better than aluminium, more durable, cheaper and most importantly weather friendly. Please go for them instead of aluminium if you want to get value for money in this period of heat and adverse weather conditions.

Abudu2000:

I said quality material,not material sprayed with colours.

Pls does d danger of asbestos also apply to d one fix as ceiling inside d house? Because this is the most common every where apart from those dat us p.o.p or wooden ceiling.
