[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 523838, member: 183150"] Generally because asbestos was a very expensive material it was only used in a product which needed it's special properties, such as very high temperature resistance, high tensile strength, affinity to cement, good filtration. Wall boards containing asbestos were used extensively on ships and for cladding the steel framing of buildings as fire protection but would not usually be used for domestic wall cladding because of cost. Sometimes used for the ceilings of internal garages. [/QUOTE]
