Ondulin: price per sheet, dimensions and properties of a soft roof

Ondulin are distinguished by resistance to moisture, a high level of environmental friendliness and noiselessness

Ondulin: material characteristics

At the heart of production ondulina lies strong heating (120 ° C) and pressing of cellulose fibers with subsequent corrugation. The resulting sheets are painted and impregnated with polymer-modified bitumen. The result is environmentally friendly sheets of corrugated bituminous ondulin with the following properties:

• water resistance - protection against moisture is provided by a special impregnation, in addition, when laying ondulin on the roof, cellulose fibers are soldered together in the sun, which makes the material even more resistant to water;

In addition to the material itself, ondulin manufacturing companies manufacture all the components necessary for installing the coating

• invulnerability to an aggressive environment - ondulin is not afraid of alkalis, acids and oil products;
• light weight - with a width of almost 1 m and a length of 2 m, an ondulin sheet weighs 6.5 kg, that is, it is 4 times lighter than slate of a similar area;
• quick and easy installation - due to the light weight of the ondulin sheet, the material is conveniently transported and can be easily lifted to the place of laying without the help of outside help; convenient and easy cutting - you can easily cut elements of the required size from sheets of material with a hacksaw, having pre-lubricated hacksaw blade with oil;
• plasticity - the material can be given the desired shape: it bends perfectly and is suitable for covering roofs of any configuration;

Ondulin sheets are lightweight, and therefore it is easy to mount them without assistance

• varied color range;
• reasonable price - ondulin sheet costing about 5 cu That is, it comes out cheaper than metal, but more expensive than slate, but the latter is not environmentally friendly.

Another undoubted advantage of this coating is noiselessness. Comparing it with metal or slate, it can be noted that ondulin completely absorbs the noise of rain and hail. Thanks to this property, there is no need to equip additional sound insulation: inside a structure with such a roof it is always quiet and comfortable.

Useful advice! When buying ondulin, choose the original material, since analogs like it quickly lose color during operation.

The ondulin sheet is only 3 mm thick, while having excellent performance

Ondulin: prices per sheet, sizes, photo samples

You can get acquainted with the product line and technical characteristics of the euro slate on the official website of Ondulin, as well as on the websites of the companies involved in its implementation. Knowing the price and dimensions of ondulin, as well as other parameters, you can most accurately calculate the amount of material required and navigate the cost of ondulin to cover the entire roof.

Technical indicators and dimensions of the sheet ondulin for roofs

A regular sheet of ondulin for a roof, which measures 2 x 0.96 m, weighs a little over 6 kg. Thanks to such a light weight, the sheets can be easily lifted onto the roof and installed without help. If the installation is done correctly, the roof covering will withstand serious (170 km / h) wind gusts. The material is not afraid of temperature fluctuations, withstanding from -50 ° С to +110 ° С.

It is important to follow the installation technology recommended by the manufacturer, then the ondulin coating will last for many years without losing its properties

The fact that ondulin becomes brittle during frost fully compensates for the ability to restore properties when heated. The structure of the material is unchanged even after 25 times of freezing and thawing. The declared manufacturer's warranty for ondulin is 15 years (if special nails were used during installation). However, experience shows that the service life of the material reaches 45-50 years.

The strength indicators of ondulin are quite enough so as not to deform under the weight of possible snow loads. It will withstand the euro slate and the weight of one or two people. The nominal load per 1 m² of the coating is 960 kg / cm, the strength is 1800 kPa. Depending on the country of origin, some indicators of ondulin may differ, as evidenced by the data in the table:

Prices for SMART ondulin sheet

Ondulin Smart replaced the traditional ondulin. In this product, the possibility of convenient and quick installation is realized due to special guides with which the sheets are fixed as evenly as possible. Each sheet of such material has a mounting marking, along which nails are driven in. The fastening scheme provides for the same number of holes as nails must be hammered into the ondulin sheet, namely 20 pieces.

Ondulin is quite versatile - it is suitable for use in any climate

Useful advice! The service life of ondulin largely depends on the adherence to the installation technology. Carefully study the instructions attached to the material, do not skimp on nails and observe the lathing step.

The total leaf area of ​​Ondulina Smart is less important than traditional sheets. Parameters 1.95 x 0.95 m - new dimensions of the ondulin sheet. At the same time, the useful area is not reduced due to the technology of laying these sheets, which involves mounting them with an overlap of 5 cm less than when installing a classic ondulin. Reducing this value also affects the mass of the roof. Knowing how much a sheet of ondulin Smart weighs, you can calculate how much the total weight of the coating will decrease.

Thanks to the use of SMART ondulin, the weight of the roof can be significantly reduced

In addition to the material itself, the companies sell accessories necessary for covering roofs with Euro-slate: branded nails for ondulin, ridge, valley and other elements. Their description and prices are available in the product catalogs. By visiting online stores, you can find out at what price you can buy ondulin for roofs. Prices for a sheet of material are given below (for convenience of calculation, the table uses the value of the cost of ondulin per square meter):

In addition to the price, size and other product characteristics, in the catalogs you can familiarize yourself with the possible colors of ondulin: photos will help you with this.

Ondulin: price per sheet, dimensions. How much is ondulin Tiling

Another product presented in the catalogs is Ondulin Tile sheets. Photos of material samples demonstrate the presence of dark transverse stripes in the color, due to which the sheet imitates a tile. Covering the roof with such ondulin (the photo confirms this) makes its appearance almost indistinguishable from the type of metal roofing.

Ondulin Tiles at their low cost have a decent appearance

The qualitative composition and all characteristics of ondulin Tiles are similar to those of Smart. 7 waves are placed in the sheet, 18 nails are used for fastening. Identical to the Smart version and the price of ondulin Tiles per sheet. Sheet size - 1.95 x 0.96 m with a thickness of 3 mm. The manufacturer gives a 100% guarantee against leaks for 15 years.

All additional elements and related accessories for roofing from this material are offered in the appropriate color. Prices for soft slate ondulin are shown in the table:

With an affordable price ondulin Tiles, the appearance of a roof made of this material gives the impression of an expensive one. And the reason for this is an interesting color scheme.

How to calculate ondulin on the roof

To have an idea of ​​how much ondulin costs on the roof (prices per sheet and sq. M. Are available in the price lists), it is necessary to correctly calculate the required coverage area. For a gable roof, a formula is used that allows you to determine the required number of sheets. To do this, find the ratio of the roof area to the useful area of ​​the ondulin sheet:

Coefficient (K) = Sk / Sl,

Where Sk - roof area, m²;
Sl - useful area of ​​ondulin leaf, m².

It should be noted that this formula works if the roof configuration does not have complex transitions or abutments of slopes. In addition, the coefficient depends on the slope of the roof: up to 10 ° it is 1.3, and from 10 to 15 ° K = 1.54.

Calculation of ondulin for a hipped roof

Useful advice! When calculating the required amount of material for the roof, keep in mind that the sheets are overlapped. Therefore, use for the calculation not the total area of ​​the sheet, but the useful one.

If the roof has a complex structure with several abutments or other complex shapes, the working area of ​​the covering is determined by another method. Theoretically, you need to break the entire roof surface into elements with a flat surface. Then calculate the area of ​​each individual element, then add all the resulting values. And the corresponding coefficients are already applied to the amount received.

The roof of the building is covered with gray ondulin sheets

Based on how much an ondulin sheet costs, as well as additional components for installation, it is possible to determine the cost of covering the entire roof area with a euro-slate.

The nuances of installing euro slate

When laying the coating, the sheets are mounted with an overlap: this section is 30 cm in length, and corresponds to two waves in width. The technology of fixing the sheets may vary depending on the slope of the roof.If the slope is less than 10 °, a solid base of plywood boards is made for ondulin. If the slope is up to 15 °, then a beam with a step of 45-50 cm is used for the lathing.For a slope of more than 15 °, you can make a gap between the elements of the lathing 55-60 cm.

The process of covering the roof with ondulin: installation of a roof hatch

The sequence of fastening the sheets is as follows:

1. The cornice strip is mounted.
2. The initial row is fixed strictly along the eaves.
3. Installation of the first sheet is done from the side opposite to the one from which the wind most often blows. The sheet is fixed flush with the overhang of the pediment and 5-6 cm of the sheet is left behind the cornice.
4. To fix one sheet, use nails, hammering them first in the corners, then fix the lower part of the sheet, and then grab the sheet in the center and on top.
5. The second and subsequent sheets are laid on the previous overlap and so on until the end of the row. The next row begins with a sheet, cut in half, so that the joint of the sheets of the second row falls in the middle of the sheet of the first row. Thus, all even rows are performed.

To install one sheet of ondulin on the roof, 15 to 20 special nails are required

When covering the roof with ondulin, you should pay attention to the following points:

• If during installation a situation arises in which it is necessary to step on the laid material, try to put your foot on the highest point of the wave, and not in the groove. In this case, it is desirable that the shoes are on soft soles;
• laying work is recommended to be carried out at temperatures from -5 ° С to +25 ° С;
• the laying of the first sheet is done from the side opposite to the one from which the wind most often blows;
• it is necessary to fasten the sheets of material on branded nails. The instructions provide for the use of 20 nails per sheet. The wide heads of these nails contribute to a strong hold, giving the coating wind resistance. It is with this fastening technology that the manufacturer gives a guarantee for the durability and excellent performance of the coating;
• during installation, do not tighten the material too much, taking advantage of the fact that ondulin is plastic. Sheets must be positioned as evenly as possible both vertically and horizontally.

The process of covering the roof with ondulin can be handled without having special construction skills.

Ondulin sheets are used both for covering new roofs of cottages, country houses, outbuildings, and for the reconstruction of old roofs. Moreover, during repair work, ondulin can be attached directly on top of the old coating. The plasticity of the euro slate allows you to fill any (even with a large radius of curvature) surfaces. Ease of processing, the possibility of rational cutting, an almost waste-free process and an affordable price make ondulin one of the most demanded roofing materials.
