ONDULINE Roofing Maintenance: Painting Instruction

Preparing to Paint Your ONDULINE Roof
Proper preparation is crucial for a successful paint job. Here's how to get started:
 

  • Weather Conditions: Ensure the temperature is between 10°C and 35°C. Avoid painting during rain, imminent precipitation, or windy days. The paint needs ample time to dry before sunset.
  • Surface Preparation: Clean the roof thoroughly. Make sure it's dry and free from debris, blisters, or cracks. Avoid using abrasive or high-pressure cleaning methods; low-pressure water is acceptable.
  • Mixing the Paint: Stir ONDULINE Renovation RUBBER Paint thoroughly before use. If necessary, add a small amount of water to achieve the right consistency.

Applying ONDULINE Renovation RUBBER Paint

ONDULINE Renovation RUBBER Paint is designed for durability and coverage, with specific application methods to follow:

  1. Application Method: Use a brush, as the paint is too thick for spraying.
  2. Coverage: One liter (1.25 kg) should cover approximately 3 square meters in two layers.
  3. Starting Point: Begin painting from the roof ridge and work your way down. Regularly mix the paint to maintain consistency.

Step-by-Step Application:

 

  1. Stir the Paint: Ensure it is thoroughly mixed for even application.
  2. Apply the First Layer: Use a brush to apply the first coat evenly, following the roof's contours.
  3. Drying Time: Allow the first layer to dry completely before applying the second coat.
  4. Second Layer: Apply the second coat, ensuring full coverage.

Roof Maintenance Tips

Regular roof maintenance of your ONDULINE roof will extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.

  • Dealing with Lichens and Moss: Clean lichens with algaecide-based treatments or proprietary cleaning detergents. For moss, brush it off and clear gutters. Treat with disinfectant if necessary, but avoid using high-power jet washers.
  • Handling Holes and Fasteners: Fill small holes with silicone or acrylic mastic. For larger holes, use ONDUBAND and overlap by 5 cm. Regularly check and maintain fasteners to ensure they are secure.
  • Routine Maintenance: Clear leaf debris to prevent mold. Ensure no branches are in contact with the roof, clean gutters and downpipes regularly, and maintain proper ventilation to prevent condensation.

Remember, maintaining your roof is crucial for its longevity. By following these straightforward steps, you can ensure your roof stays in excellent condition for years to come. If in doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to ONDULINE® for assistance.
