Two types of fibre cement corrugated roofing sheets, one being a hybrid containing fibrillated polypropylene networks and alkali resistant glass fibres, and the other reinforced solely by the fibrillated polypropylene networks, have been exposed to natural weather for six and ten years, respectively. Flexural test results indicate that, for these exposure periods, the strength and toughness for both types of sheets has been little affected. A 20% increase in flexural peak load was found for the hybrid polypropylene-glass fibre cement sheets.

Fibrous Asbestos Cement products, like the wall and roof sheeting on this classic 1930's house, are commonly called Fibro,or AC sheeting in Australia. Building specifications used to refer to FAC sheeting . Some people still use the term Fibro for any flat cement sheet, but here I will use the term to mean products containing asbestos fibres. The name probably comes from the James Hardie and Co product Fibrolite
