One of the construction innovations of 2012 was Onduville. This is a new type of tile, characterized by increased strength and low weight. In its production, manufacturers use exclusively natural raw materials of natural origin: bitumen, various mineral additives and fluff pulp.
It is produced in the form of small plates 0.4x1.06 m. In appearance, the onduville (reviews of which speak of the same) strongly resembles a classic tile, but is much simpler than its predecessor in installation.
To paint this roofing material , the so-called “three colors” effect is used, when the color is obtained by randomly mixing three different shades. That is how it is possible to achieve the effect of a “mosaic roof”. Since Onduvilla (which reviews are positive) is very light, it can be laid even on simple roofs with a light rafter system. In the case of natural tiles, such a roof could easily fall apart.
In addition, for the convenience of customers, this material is packaged in special packaging, to which special nails for ondvilla are attached. The method of fixing sheets on the roof resembles that of a classic slate. Simply put, nails are driven into the place of overlapping waves of tiles, qualitatively fixing them on the roof and preventing water and snow from falling under the material. Thus, onduvilla (installation instructions of which will be lower) is not only a beautiful and durable material, but also can significantly increase the operational life of the roof itself.
Getting Started
If for some reason there are no special nails in the package, then it is necessary to use their varieties with plastic insulation caps. If necessary, a sheet of material can be easily sawn with an ordinary manual hacksaw. By the way, for the sake of the builders' convenience, horizontal markings are applied to each sheet of Onduvilla, which can be successfully used for a quality fit of the roofing material.
The classical wave design allows for optimal ventilation of the roof, avoiding the appearance of condensation, rot and mold. Once again, Onduvilla, the reviews of which speak for themselves, is one of the lightest roofing materials in the world. That is why you can get by with the simplest rafter structure, greatly reducing the cost of the entire building. Of course, the closest competitor of this tile in this regard is galvanized metal, but it rattles terribly when it rains. Onduvilla is completely spared this annoying flaw, and therefore it is ideal to cover the roofs of the attics.
It is perfect for all climatic zones, as it tolerates severe temperature extremes. If the nails for fixing it were hammered correctly, then even strong gusts of squally wind are not terrible for such a roof (of course, provided that the rafter system is strong enough). In the case when she still needs repairs, Onduvilla (reviews, the price of which is very pleasant) can easily withstand the weight of a person. The need for a ladder can arise only in the case of a very steep roof.
Thus, with an average cost of 200 rubles per sheet of ondville, the reviews about which are just fine, fully justifies the confidence of customers.
