		+	= Fibre cement shingles =
		+
		+	Concrete shingles were very popular as a lightweight, durable roofing material that resembles slate roofing. Many of these earlier products often contained asbestos fibres to bind the cement, one of the most common brands being Eternit, which makes fibre cement roofing and cladding products, which is a registered trademark owned by the Belgian company Etex. Eternit products used until around the 1980s, contained asbestos, after which point it was banned due to health risks. Since 1983, Eternit sheets and accessories have been made from non-asbestos material since 1983, with corrugated sheets since 1998.

	The introduction of steam-powered saw mills in the early-19th century, made it possible to manufacture large numbers of uniform shingles. This coincided with the emergence of architectural styles such as Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne, and Shingle style architecture; although traditional hand-split shingles continued to be favoured over machine-sawn shingles in many places. In the 20th century, wooden shingles were often used in the Arts and Craft Movement, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styles.
