Never seen it installed with timber battening to hide the joints like in the OPs photo, though. Have you?Plasterboard was used in 1930’s housing, the ceilings of my 1936 property are.
You tend not to see cement asbestos boards used that way indoors - it was common enough for garages, sheds and out houses as exterior cladding, though, and might also be found in airing cupboards (where the cylinder used to live) and bathrooms as well. Can't recall seeing cement asbestos board on the insides of timber-framed bungalows which were externally clad with it (think Dungeness or Jaywick in Essex and maybe bits of Canvey Island for the sort of dwellings I'm referring to). The internal walls of those places were often clad with softboard (Sundaela board). This might have been because cement asbestos board is relatively brittle and won't take nails, pins or screws all that well (so just how do you hang a picture on a wall clad with it?)Thanks for the replies everyone. I was wondering if anyone would mention the “dreaded A word”.
