I am in the middle of buying a house with fiber external wall sheet (which most likely contains asbestos). I dislike this fiber wall sheet, and I prefer timber external wall. And someone told me that fiber wall sheet is cheaper than timber. This wall sheet is also common, while timber external wall is more popular. Maybe, I am wrong and subjective, or I am overly worried. So my question are as follows: 1) how much difference in terms of price between fiber external wall and timber external wall for 3-bedroom house? 2) Do people really concern about external wall much? E.g. people will say no to a good house because of fiber/asbesto external wall sheet? 3) how much does it cost to replace fiber wall sheet with timber for 3 bedroom house? Anyone with some knowledge or experience with this one? thanks a lot, I do really appreciate. Cheers jeff Thanks Pulse, thats really helpful and very much appreciated. Also thanks for the pointer on sheathing, thats me watching too many american youtube videos! 6 2797 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15907 |
