On the market now offers a variety of roofing materials. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. An andulin roof is quite demanded due to its characteristics.

Material characteristics

Onduin давно широко применяется за границей, в последнее время он начал пользоваться популярностью и у нас. На протяжении нескольких десятилетий это изделие успешно конкурирует с другими кровельными материалами. Это вполне естественно, ведь ондулин обладает многими положительными характеристиками.

• Reliable protection from the aquatic environment. The wavy shape and composition of the material do not allow water to penetrate the roof.
• High enough resistance to temperature extremes. If the temperature of the air does not change abruptly, the material will not be afraid of either frost below –25? C or high heat.
• Antifungal properties, resistance to the ravages of acid and alkaline media. In addition, the material is resistant to ultraviolet rays. According to the findings of experts, Ondulin has a set of positive qualities that are characteristic of a reliable roof, made with your own hands.
• Normal tolerance of fuels and lubricants. Since this material does not differ in absolute resistance to fire, the presence of fuels and lubricants on the surface of the material may cause ignition, but the likelihood of this excess is minimal. 
• The load on the roof frame is very small. The whole reason lies in the low weight of the roof - anduline material weighs up to 2 kg / m?, Therefore during installation and during the operation there are no additional problems.
• Excellent noise isolation. Sounds from raindrops in bad weather are almost inaudible.
• Corrosion protection. Organic components of the roof do not allow corrosion to occur. In addition, the bituminous components of the material exclude the occurrence of the process of roof rotting.

• Endurance and strength characteristics. The pressure of snow in winter does not have a destructive effect on the surface. However, it should be borne in mind that at low temperatures, ondulin becomes more fragile, therefore, the crate must be made solid or with small steps.
• Long service life. Under normal operation, an andulin roof can last up to 5 decades, with the manufacturer providing a guarantee of approximately 15 years.
• Application in the multipurpose directions. The material covers buildings for various purposes, repairing individual sections. This roof is special in that it can be used on top of other roofing materials. From such material, you can safely build a roof over the balconies - they do not create a significant load on the structure. 
• Andulin roof has a low comparative cost. It should be noted a significant cost-effectiveness of this roof, which is a good combination of price, quality and long service life of the material.
• Экологичность материала. Onduin состоит из безопасных для здоровья компонентов, пропитанных битумом. Для улучшения эксплуатационных качеств ондулина, в него добавляют искусственные смолы и целлюлозу. Внешне ондулин похож на шифер, но в его состав не входит асбест и его производные компоненты.

• A wide variety in terms of color, which causes a particular pigment to be added during production. The most popular classic colors are black, green, brown, red. The surface of the material has a matte finish.

Note! Ondulin has a significant drawback - in the process of its operation, the color burns out, becoming faded.

Types of ondulin

Andulin roofing is divided into slate and tile covering. Both materials are durable and able to withstand strong winds up to 180 km / h. In addition, he and the other type of material can withstand a lot of snow pressure.

• Andulin soft tiles, which have the form of tiles, have a size of 1.0–0.35 m. In the manufacture of such tiles, fiberglass is used, which is covered with a special kind of bitumen from opposite sides. Andulin shingles can be of different colors. Mineral chips are applied to the products from the outside. Particularly attractive looks hip roof, covered with Andulin's tile. The work in this case is time consuming, since during the installation it will be necessary to fit the plates, but with the quality of the work, the physical costs will pay back with interest due to the original external data. 
• Andulin slate is a wavy material. Sheet dimensions 2.0? 0.95 m, thickness 3 mm, arc height 3.6 cm, weight approximately 6 kg. In the manufacture of this slate, cellulose fibers, pure bitumen, resin, mineral components and pigmenting substances go into production. Since the sheets have a large surface area, the installation of an Andulin roof is quick and easy.

Roof installation

Works on the installation of an andulin roof are carried out in warm weather, which is characterized by a positive temperature from 0 to +30? C. Fastening of sheets is performed by special nail complexes with a lid, which eventually closes. So that the light sheet does not blow the wind from the roof, it is fastened with 20 nails. When the angle of inclination to 10? solid crate is used when tilting the slope from 10 to 15? wooden elements of the batten can be placed at a distance of 0.45 m from each other, if the angle of the slope is over 15 ?, then the pitch reaches 0.6 m. Roof sheets are laid in a staggered manner.

• First mounted endova. Then the glassine is stretched on the crate. After that, you can stack sheets of Ondulin.
• If the material needs to be cut, a simple saw lubricated with engine oil will do. When marking the edges of the bars, nails are hammered, and a rope is pulled over them.
• The installation of the material begins at the bottom of the roof, and you must observe the overlap. Fastening is carried out with special nails, and each wave is fixed in the first row, then - through the arc.
• At the end of the work is set horse.
