Human Construction Materials: Asbestos-Cement Roof Tiles Asbestos-cement roof tiles are a type of roofing material made from a combination of asbestos fibers and Portland cement. They were widely used in the mid-20th century due to their durability, fire resistance, and affordability. However, their use has declined significantly over the years due to concerns about asbestos health risks and environmental hazards. Asbestos-cement roof tiles are still available today for those who want a retro look or have older homes with existing tile installations. When properly maintained, they can last for many decades, but they require regular inspections and repairs to ensure their integrity.
