Woven asbestos cement sheeting
Description
Cut to size AC sheeting or AC planks. Predominantly from late 1970s when this fence design was the subject of television advertising for use of Hardie’s Hardiplank (smooth or woodgrain). Design described as ‘Wovenplank.’
May be painted.
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.
