Ondulin: features and properties of the material

Before choosing ondulin, it is worth finding out what is the price per sheet and the size of the material. This material is produced by pressing cellulose fibers using strong heat. The resulting layers are treated with bitumen and painted.

Features of production allow you to create high quality roofing material

Ondulin has the following characteristics:

resistance to moisture is provided by a special impregnating compound;
the material is resistant to acids, oil products and alkalis;
it is lightweight;
characterized by ease of installation, as well as ease of cutting;
the material bends well and can be used for roofs of any shape;
has a varied color palette.

Helpful information! Ondulin is able to retain color for many years. It can be laid on top of other materials.

This material can be used for roofs of various shapes.

There are many factors that need to be considered when choosing ondulin: the price per sheet, sizes, photos of suitable options are considered in advance.

Together with ondulin, other important parts are used: ridge element, fasteners

Roofing material specifications

A standard ondulin canvas has a weight of about six kg. This makes it easy to lift the material and mount it at a height.With proper installation, this coating can withstand even strong gusts of wind. The structure of the canvases remains unchanged even with repeated freezing and thawing.

Ondulin prices per sheet, sizes, photos and manufacturers

Smart ondulin, the price per sheet, the dimensions of which differ from the standard material, are distinguished by comfortable and easy installation. The layers are fixed perfectly evenly. Each plate has special marks where the fastener is driven in.

This material has a wide range of advantages

Ondulin smart has a slightly smaller size, but the area used is no less. Since the overlapping installation is done with a space coverage of 50 mm less than with standard material. Together with ondulin, it is worth purchasing special nails, a valley, a ridge and other details.

The main advantage of smart is the smaller area used for the joint between the canvases

The price of this coating depends on the size of the ondulin sheet for the roof. The table shows the average price per square meter in Russia.

Ondulin tiles are popular, the photo below displays the best options. Such a coating makes it possible to imitate metal tiles well. Ondulin shingles are a lot like smart products. The cost of this material per square meter varies from 235 rubles.

Helpful information! The operational period depends on compliance with the installation technology. In this case, you should not save on nails, and also observe the intervals of the crate.

Ondulin tile has a unique flavor. This material is used for buildings in a rustic or ethnic style.

How to calculate ondulin on the roof: useful recommendations

Before proceeding with the installation, many are faced with the need: how to calculate ondulin on the roof correctly. To calculate the necessary expenses for the roof, you need to determine the coverage area.

The installation of an onduline coating largely depends on the angle of inclination

To calculate the required number of sheets, you need to use a special formula that helps to calculate the ratio of the roof area to the usable area of the ondulin canvas:

Ratio = Sk / Sl

Sk means the area of the roof in square measures, and Sl - shows the useful area of the canvas.

This formula is applied when the shape of the roof does not have intricate transitions or joining of slopes. This value is influenced by the angle of inclination of the roof. If the angle does not exceed 10 degrees, then the coefficient is 1.3. With an angle value from 10 to 15, this indicator is 1.54.

An example of calculating the amount of material on the roof

With a complex configuration of the roof structure, calculations are carried out in a different way. The entire roof surface is divided into separate parts. The area of each element is calculated, and then the resulting values are summed up. Then the coefficients are used to the obtained value.

To calculate a complex structure, the roof must be broken into separate parts.

Helpful information! When performing calculations, it must be borne in mind that the canvases are overlapped. In this case, you need to take not the total area, but the useful one.

Features of installation work

The sheets are overlapped. This section occupies two waves in width, and about 30 cm in length.

Roof installation with ondulin is simple

The technology used is influenced by the angle of inclination of the roof. If the angle is less than 10 degrees, then a base of plywood sheet... If the slope is less than 15 degrees, then a timber is used for the lathing, which is attached with an interval of 40-50 cm.If the slope is more than 15 degrees, then a gap of 55-60 cm is required.

Ondulin canvases are attached as follows:

the cornice strip is attached;
an initial row is attached along the cornice element;

The diagram shows the main layers of the structure

installation starts from the leeward side of the house;
for installation, nails are used, which are hammered in the corners, then on the lower surface of the sheet, and on top and in the central part;

Fastener parts are distributed according to a certain pattern

the rest of the plates overlap to the end of the row;

Installation of roofing sheets is made with an overlap

the next row is made from the canvas, which is cut in half so that the joint of the plates of the second row falls in the middle of the first row. In this case, all even rows are filled.

Installation of the roofing sheet is carried out using waterproofing

For high-quality roofing with the help of ondulin, it is worth considering the following points:

if necessary, step on the surface, it is recommended to put your foot in shoes with soft soles on the very top of the wave element, and not in the groove;
laying work is carried out at a temperature of at least -5 and not more than +25 degrees;
the material should be mounted on special nails. It is necessary to use 20 fasteners per blade. The wide hats of this fastener contribute to a secure attachment and give great wind resistance;

The ridge is considered an important element.

when laying, do not tighten the canvases too much. Plates should be laid out as accurately as possible vertically and horizontally.
