You know the feeling when you go out each week, and while getting ready to go out you look at the same old wardrobe you have had for years with no spice?
Our company look was looking old so we decided to spice things up with an updated look - no major changes just a slight tweak to the logo and some colour so that we can stand out more. Let us know what you think? We now hold over 35 Air monitors, including personal monitors.
If you have a job or multiple jobs that need to be done we are definitely well stocked to accompany you including our current clients. Asbestos cement sheet and asbestos insulating board are used throughout buildings to increase the fire rating to hinder the spread of fire.
Asbestos vinyl tiles commonly contain asbestos. The asbestos tiles are nominally 9 inches square. Vinyl sheet can also contain asbestos as well as the bituminous adhesive used to glue the asbestos vinyl sheet and asbestos vinyl tiles down.
Asbestos roofs are generally made of a corrugated moulded product that is generally fairly stable material. Being a brittle roof there are other significant issues which include the potential of falling through by walking on them. Roof membranes ar egenerally a bituminous material. They can reside at the tope of the roof or underneath roof tiles in a sheet material. They are usually a black colour and the asbestos fibres can generally be seen with the naked eye.
Asbestos pipes may include downpipes, asbestos cement water pipes underground, asbestos cement flues for transporting hot air from boilers. they are generally made of asbestos cement, providing a hard wearing product.
The first picture shows an asbestos downpipe from a gutter with some fibres after a breakage. The second picture is of a storm water pipes underground. External garages can contain asbestos cement walls, eaves and corrugated asbestos roofs. Newer garages that are part of the house can have asbestos sheet or fibro to assist in hindering the spread of fire if a fire were to start in the garage.
The pitched side of roofs otherwise known as gables can contain corrugated moulded asbestos products (picture 1) and flat asbestos cement sheet as shown from a garage in picture 2.
