Wondering what type/material of roof tile this is?
 
  • A close-up of wavy red roof tiles with moss growth, adjacent to a brick wall.
Looks suspiciously like eternit, do you have any idea how old it might be?

Those are Eternit panels. In very good condition as can be seen in the picture.

I think they are from the mid-80s, did they use asbestos cement at that time?

Most likely those are fibercement boards
 
The sale of asbestos materials was banned in Sweden in 1982.
The only sure way to find out if it is asbestos is to send a sample for analysis. It could be eternit and full of asbestos, or it could be a more modern asbestos-free material.
But as already mentioned, the tiles look fresh!

If it's fiber cement, I will be happy as they are environmentally friendly. Safest to send a sample for analysis.
