OK all you building experts and big time renovators out there! What are the downsides to a fibro roof? My latest purchase has one, and though it doesn't worry me or the building inspector (he said it was in good condition for it's age- about 50 yrs old), others (including a draftsman) have made tut-tutting noises when they learn of it, like I've bought a house with a disease!
My husband used to live in a house with a fibro roof, as a child, and said that he can remember it provided very little protection against one huge hailstorm in the 1970's. Apart from that, however, he couldn't see a reason either. Anyone care to enlighten me here?
Cheers, Jacque
