Description

Years of production/use

Prior to 1990

Following the cease of asbestos use, Hardie’s manufactured near identical cellulose fibre products under the names Hardiplank II Woodgrain, Hardiplank II Smooth and Hardiflex II. This may be branded on the underside edging.  If unsure, sampling for testing by a NATA accredited laboratory is the only method of confirming the non-asbestos product.
