Asbestos bath panels

[PGrim]

Hearing Different versions here. Were asbestos bath panels cement?! I have been told by some that they were only cement and would not be AIB, yet if you search the net apparently AIB was also used for this ?!

Thanks

As in bath panels were asbestos cement type and not AIB ?

There used to be asbestos board bath panels with a glazed and coloured finish, I presume to resist water and to be easy to hygienically cleaned. I don't think I have ever handled any. I imagine that unless you broke or drilled them, they would not release fibres.

Asbestos cement - yes.

Asbestos insulating board - I've not encountered any.

Just done my catB and seemingly for a certain period they were quite common to be AIB same as window cills
