nail holes in fibre cement slates - do they cause staining??

des606 · 26 Jun 2009

Hello,

Can you tell me if holes drilled in fibre cement slates, for copper nails/crampions will cause staining via the rain washing cement powder down the roof.

In some slates I'm using I've had to drill holes which end up being unused , will these holes cause more cement staining?

Cheers

If you have cleaned away the dust created I wouldn't have thought so as that's how the holes are put in in the first place

Hi you will get staining if you allow the asbestos slates to get wet when they are stacked together for any period of time.
