The article is about an old building material that was popular in the 1930s-1950s. It discusses the pro’s of the building material and why it became popular but never actually discusses what caused it to fall out of fashion.
I’d be really interested to learn what came out that managed to beat it on the market and what specifically caused that to happen.
Realistically it probably boils down to money in the end anyway.
“surfaced on both sides with asbestos cement.” Asbestosis lawsuits started in the 1960s.
Oh yeah! That would definitely do it! Somehow my brain didn’t connect those lol
It seems like the last big project was made in the early 50s though… Very good that it died out either way if it was being made with Asbestos.
