How to install Ondulin or corrugated board for the roof- What is better to choose for the roof- Review + Video

For any building, be it a country toilet, a gazebo, a house or a bath, you need a roof.

"How to cover the roof?" This question always arises for all those involved in construction.

You can find the answer to this question in construction markets or in hardware stores, it is there that there is a huge selection of materials for roof covering, of various manufacturers and prices. But in the presence of various roofing materials, we have identified only two.

Some people choose material for reliability, some for color.

In most cases, a person of average income prefers two materials, such as ondulin and corrugated board .

First, consider such material as ondulin.

Ondulin roofing material

This roofing material appeared not so long ago on the CIS markets, ondulin began to be produced and sold in Europe fifty years ago.

Ondulin is produced from waste paper, it is ground, water and dyes are added, the whole mixture is thoroughly mixed.

Then the mixture is passed through a molding machine, where it takes the form of slate.

The obtained sheets are dried, under pressure and under the influence of high temperatures, the sheets are treated with distilled bitumen with additives.

Good material qualities

1. Easy to use (very easy to cut and drill);
2. Flexible, light weight (approx. 3 kg / m2);
3. Safe, both for humans and the environment;
4. Absorbs noise;
5. Long-lasting (service life from 40 to 50 years);
6. Affordable price;

Poor material quality

1. Very poor color gamut (red, brown, green, lilac);
2. Loses color quickly (it can fade under intense sun on summer days);
3. Not fire-resistant (if sparks from fire very quickly ignites);
4. Soft in heat and fragile in frost (with these factors, it is not recommended to work with ondulin)

And now we will consider such material as corrugated board.

Profiled steel sheet

Profiled sheeting is a steel sheet that is cold rolled in a way that results in a profile with trapezoidal waves.

The height of the "trapezium" is different, for this reason the corrugated board has three types :

• Low-profile;
• Mid-profile;
• High-profile.

Advantages of corrugated board

The professional flooring has as pros and cons, we will consider the good qualities of the material for now:

1. The material has a weight of 4 to 8 kg / m2, therefore it is considered light;
2. Easy to install ;
3. Eco-friendly;
4. Fairly long service life (up to 50 years);
5. Flame retardant;
6. Affordable prices.

Cons of corrugated board

Now let's look at the bad quality of this material:

1. Heat in the sun
2. Very low noise insulation
3. Corroded
4. Condensation.

The sheet of corrugated board has a large area, which allows it to be laid without overlapping.

And so we considered two roofing materials and it seems to us that it is worth comparing them and drawing conclusions.

Comparative characteristics of materials

Now let's compare these materials:

• When choosing ondulin, keep in mind that you can run into not high-quality and fake material that will fail after two or three years;
• The paint on ondulin may fade, on the profiled sheet this misunderstanding can be corrected;
• Ondulin must be cleaned of foliage, debris and snow, and the professional sheet does not need this;
• The noise of the rain of some romantic natures delights, so the roof is covered with corrugated board to their taste. Ondulin has the property of noise absorption;
• The corrugated board is good, for houses with stove heating, it consists of steel, which will not ignite when sparks hit, which cannot be said about ondulin, because it is easily flammable. But when choosing a corrugated board, in order to avoid noise during rain on the upper floors, you can make noise insulation;

Let's draw conclusions

People are different and each person has their own preferences, someone will think the roof made of ondulin is an ideal roofing material, and to someone a roof covered with corrugated board with a polymer coating will seem "rich".

After you have become acquainted with the information about different roofing materials, manufacturing technology, with various characteristics, colors and prices, you can choose something that will not cause you a feeling of disappointment, after a while the operation of the roofing material .
