Asbestos in the roof tiles?

[tompaah7503]

Have had similar roofing tiles.
They had become significantly thinner over the years, especially at the bottom edge, where they were nicely rounded downward. However, still significantly thicker and heavier than asbestos-reinforced roofing materials. Never sent them for analysis, but it's incredible to think they contain asbestos fibers due to their thickness.

Then you are probably mistaken about the perspective. These tiles are thin, as thin as those large sheets that used to be on barns and such places in the past. But I've never seen those sheets weather like these do.

No, it is not asbestos cement! These are concrete tiles of questionable quality. There were such tiles on both a shed and the barn on the farm I sold.

Not at all. I can see in the pictures that they are the same as the ones I had. And they are thicker than asbestos-fiber-reinforced concrete, commonly called eternit. I'm guessing you're located in eastern Skåne or Blekinge, the only place in the country where I've seen these.

Absolutely right about eastern Skåne. I know more people who have them in the area, it might be that they only occur here. No marking on the pan, so I don't know where they come from.

Absolutely right about eastern Skåne. I know others who have them in the area; it might be that they only occur here. No marking on the stove so I don't know where they come from.

They are at least in Småland as well. (But maybe you don't travel that far north ?)

Sure, I’d gladly head to the forests of Småland and rent a cabin.
