A non asbestos sheet is a roofing sheet manufactured without asbestos and used as an alternative to traditional asbestos-based roofing materials. Modern non asbestos roofing sheets are available in different materials, profiles, thicknesses and finishes to meet the requirements of residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings.
For projects looking for durable, weather-resistant and asbestos-free roofing solutions, modern metal roofing options such as Aluminium-Zinc alloy coated sheets and colour coated roofing sheets offer reliable performance with low maintenance requirements.
What is a Non Asbestos Sheet?
A non asbestos sheet is a roofing sheet that does not contain asbestos fibres. It is designed to provide an alternative to traditional asbestos cement roofing while meeting the strength, durability and weather-protection requirements of modern buildings.
The term “non asbestos sheet” can refer to different types of asbestos-free roofing materials. In metal roofing applications, commonly used options include:
- Aluminium-Zinc alloy coated roofing sheets
- Colour coated roofing sheets
These materials use protective metallic or paint coatings to improve resistance to corrosion, moisture, UV exposure and weathering.
For example, Rhino Roofs’ Aluminium-Zinc alloy coated sheets use a steel substrate with an aluminium-zinc coating, while its colour coated sheets use a pre-painted coated steel substrate.
Key Types & Materials Used in Non Asbestos Roofing Sheets
To determine roof performance and lifespan key types and materials play a crucial role. Rhino Roofs offers multiple material options to suit different applications.
