Asbestos is an ideal material which is
commonly used for flooring, roofing and thermal insulation. Asbestos
is fire resistant and is thus preferred by many people as their
roofing choice. You can even place them near electrical components
and not worry about fire accidents. When asbestos is mixed with
cement, it becomes stronger, and you get an increased lifespan. Your
roofing becomes stronger, and you can expect it to last for about 50
to 60 years. The material is also readily available, and you get it
for a cheap price. To know more visit Capital Recycling site.
