Weather is unpredictable lately. Whatever the month, there is either rain or extreme heat in the Philippines. With this, residential, commercial, and other types of buildings need to ensure good quality materials that can withstand the possible effects, especially on our roofs.  

While choosing the best roof for your home, it’s worth looking into the appropriate materials that can suit buildings’ exposure to the weather in the country. Onduline, for example, is a non-ferrous product.  Rust roof is very common in the Philippines being an archipelago and has a stretch of 37,000 KM of coastline which makes the country rust prone.   

Onduline is lightweight and made of cellulose fiber, impregnated with bitumen. It is asbestos free  and is fully committed to planet environment preservation.
