Do They Still Make Asbestos Siding. Asbestos siding was made by adding asbestos a naturally occurring mineral to portland cement. Most homes built after the 1980s no longer use siding that contains asbestos because of its obvious health risks. When the fibers become airborne they pose health concerns.
I recommend having a certified asbestos removal contractor take the existing asbestos siding off though in many areas homeowners are allowed remove asbestos siding themselves if they follow proper precautions. When the fibers become airborne they pose health concerns.

These materials are known as fiber cement siding and they contain no asbestos.
