Discover how fast ONDULINE® roofing sheets are to install!
Easy handling
ONDULINE® sheets are the professional’s choice for swift and efficient roofing installations. In today’s fast-paced construction industry, time and convenience are paramount. ONDULINE® sheets deliver on both fronts.
ONDULINE® lightweight sheets weigh only 3.16 kg/m2. They are particularly light and easy to carry, making life easier for professionals. Say goodbye to the backbreaking work of carrying heavy roofing materials. ONDULINE® sheets can be transported up on the roof by hand by only one installer. The installer can even carry several sheets at the same time. On large roofs, installers may prefer the use of a stair lift or a crane. Therefore, ONDULINE sheets® can be used in hard-to-reach jobsite areas.
With Onduline, handling is easy, helping the installers save time and reduce labor costs.
Convenient transportation
Thanks to their light weight, more ONDULINE® sheets can be loaded into a truck as you can put up to 420 units per pallet (798 m²). With ONDULINE® sheets you can load enough sheets in a 14 tons truck to realise the roofing of 18 houses of 150 m²!
This means fewer trips back and forth to the warehouse and more roofing materials at disposal on the jobsites. With Onduline, professionals can complete more roofing projects in less time, increasing their productivity and profitability. Professionals also save costs by maximising transportation.
Our lightweight solutions allow the professionals to load more m² in a truck reducing carbon footprint.
Quicker construction
Lighter roofing are often quicker to construct because they require less labour and machinery for handling heavy materials (no mandatory need for a crane or lifting machine). The installation is also straightforward. This can result in shorter construction timelines, potentially saving money on labour costs and accelerating the project's completion. This can be particularly advantageous for projects with tight timelines.
Managing construction sites schedules, monitor working times, calculate salaries for staff working in the field… It is a complex exercise for construction companies. Working with Onduline allow the installer to have a clear vision and gain optimisation.
An intuitive installation
- ONDULINE® sheets are fast to install thanks to an intuitive and self-explanatory covering system. Some of ONDULINE® sheets feature the smart lock system -a game changer for installer. The embossed lines on sheets serve as as an installation guide, eliminating the need for time-consuming measurements. This system simplifies the alignment and overlap, ensuring a faster and more precise installation.
- Overlaps can be exceeded if necessary to avoid cut outs. Installers can play on the width of the overlaps to avoid cutting, streamlining the installation process.
- Fixing ONDULINE® sheets is straightforward. Sheets are fixed with either ONDULINE® MONOBLOC NAIL or ONDULINE® UNIVERSAL SCREW, with no pre-drilling required. The sheets are placed on the roof overlapping each other, nails or screws are fixed in the required order. Installer will appreciate the efficiency of the process.
- ONDULINE® sheets are designed to be fast to cut. A regular pad saw or a cutter can be used. If sheets need cutting on the roof, small tools are enough making the work more comfortable for the installer. Sheets are also safe to cut.
