1940's
Asphalt Siding |
 |
Q: I'm building a small camp in the woods. I am trying to find old-time
asphalt siding like that used in the 40's and patterned like brick.
Where can I still find this material?
A: Thanks for your inquiry. If you are referring to rigid cement shingle
siding, that is no longer manufactured in the U.S. because it contained
asbestos. I don't know of anyone who manufactures a comparable product
without asbestos, at least not in the U.S. (Surfing the web, I did
see some references to it in Canada, but I don't know if it is legal
to bring it into the States).
You should probably check around with some building suppliers to see
what other kinds of products they offer that might work for you. Perhaps
you can find something in a vinyl product.
If you would like to locate a service provider to install siding for
you, please visit us again at http://www.servicemagic.com, and select

Good luck with your project!
