Mounting Ondulina: Step-by-step instruction

Ontulin is a fairly popular roofing material of the wave-like shape, produced on the basis of cellulose, resins, fillers, mineral additives and bitumen. It has a significant amount of advantages, and therefore the use of this material will allow you to forget about the problems with the roof for several decades. When arranging the roofing ondulin is one of the most profitable materials. Consider the features of its operation and installation in more detail.

Benefits of material

Ontulin has a number of characteristic features that caused the widespread material in construction work. In particular, such aspects can be distinguished as:

• waterproof - the material does not absorb moisture even with long contact with it. When using ondulin, even the installation of parobararries and waterproofing is optional;
• resistance to temperature effects - ondulin does not lose operational qualities in high and low temperature conditions, as well as able to withstand sharp differences;
• a relatively small mass of this roofing material allows you to avoid significant loads on the framework of the building;
• due to its high resistance to ultraviolet rays, the intensity of the color of ONDulina does not decrease even under conditions of permanent stay under direct sun exposure;
• the material is resistant to the negative effects of alkalis, acids, diesel fuel, mineral oils, so that it can be successfully used to cover not only residential, but also industrial premises;
• a long period of operation - 50 years and more;
• the value of the material is relatively low, thanks to which Ondulin refers to the category of widely available construction goods;
• ondulin roof does not require much care;
• high aesthetic indicators;
• environmental Safety;
• with this roofing material just easy to work. If you wish, you can perform the installation of Ondulin with your own hands and this will not require special skills or construction qualifications;
• thanks to the universality of Ondulina, it can be used not only as a roof coating, but also for finishing vertical surfaces;
• due to biological inertness, the material is absolutely not susceptible to the effects of fungi and bacteria.

Criterias of choice

In order not to make a mistake in the choice of Ondulin, you need to focus on the following criteria:

1. You can distinguish a quality product on a black corrugated grid, which is located on the back of the material.
2. Sheets must have 10 waves, each height equals 3.8 cm.
3. The outer side is rough. Material color matte.
4. The manufacturer code must be printed on the last wave.
5. Certificate is attached to the products, guide for use and coupon, providing for the warranty for 15 years.

How to calculate the required amount of material

The size of Ontulin sheets is 0.95 m x 2 m. To determine the amount that will be required to work, this calculation should be done:

1. Initially divide the surface of the roof on geometric shapes - triangles, squares, trapezoids.
2. Next, using geometric formulas, the area of \u200b\u200beach of the figures should be determined.
3. The results obtained are summed up where the final indicator will be equal to the roof area.
4. Now it is not difficult to calculate the required number of sheets. The roof area is divided into an indicator of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe material.

Montage of Ontulina: Recommendations for work

1. Works on the installation of this material should be performed at a temperature of -5 ° C ... + 30 ° C. It is not recommended to conduct any manipulation with ondulin under conditions of low temperature, since it is possible to damage the material.
2. Nails are used as fasteners, which are specially designed for this material. On 1 sheet, 20 nails are consumed - 10 units in the upper and lower part.
3. When installing the crate frame, you need to navigate the angle of inclination. If this indicator does not exceed 10 °, then it is possible to apply a solid fan of plywood or OSB.
4. With a bias of 15 °, it is necessary to mount the frame from the bars, by observing a step in 45 cm.
5. If the bias exceeds 15 °, then the distance between the bars should be increased to 60 cm.
6. When working with ondulin, care should be taken to avoid the deformation of the material. Damaged sheets will not withstand temperature differences and cracks are formed on them.
7. During the installation, you can move only by fixed material.
8. To cut the sheets applies wood hacksaw. Pre-instrument should be lubricated with oil so that it is not stuck in the sheet during sawing.
9. Ontulin is favorably different from other materials of fragmentary repair. In case of damage to the roof, you can remove the deformed sheets and replace them with new ones.
10. Due to the small mass of Ondulin, you can mount on top of the damaged material, which eliminates the need to disassemble.

Ondulin: Installation Instructions

The work begins with the installation of a cerebral frame on the rafter system. It should be followed by such a sequence of actions:

1. Ontulin is recommended to mount on a wooden crate made of bars, since such a design better distributes the load. The most suitable material are bars from coniferous rocks. Such wood has a special structure and has a resin in its composition, which prevent the development of various bacteria. All details of the crates must be processed by antiseptic means. But the installation of sheets and metal frame is allowed.
2. In the process of fastening, you should consider the necessary distance between the bars depending on the inclination of the roof.
3. The first stage of installation of the crate is the fixation of the cornice and elements that will hold the gutter.
4. It is necessary to ensure that the board has a large cross section at the beginning of the sweep. The distance between it and the next board should be 30 cm. Install the first board is necessary so that it performs on both sides of the cornice. The rest of the boards are attached in parallel.
5. With the help of a color pencil on sheets there is a markup, according to which the material is cut.
6. Starting installation work is needed from the edge to the side opposite to the direction of the wind.
7. It is necessary to have sheets in such a way that the joints of the next row do not coincide with the joints of the previous one, that is, according to chess order. This will avoid leaks. To achieve this location of the material, each subsequent row should be started not from a whole sheet, but from half.
8. It is applied to cut the hacksaw, but in the absence of this tool, an electrolovka or a regular knife is suitable.
9. The upper sheets need to be located on the lower with the overlap at 14-15 cm.
10. For fixing to a wooden frame, nails are used from polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, which you need only vertically. In the opposite case, there is a chance of damage to the roof.
11. If there is a need to remove the nail, it is used to do a nail-cutter, putting a bar for it.
12. To ensure high-quality fixation, nails need to score tightly.
13. If the installation is made on the metal crate, you should use the screws. Initially, the sheets are fixed on both sides around the edges, in the middle of the nails are nailed through the wave. So that the fastening elements are located along one line, you need to use a tension cord.
14. Turning gutters are attached to the ectile. Sheets should go beyond the eaves of 7 cm. To provide protection against insect penetration, ventilation comb is installed on the cornily.
15. On each wave of material to frame bars with nails, a horse is nailed. Installation of this element begins on the side with which sheets were stacked.
16. For ventilation, an additional skimming element will be required. When installing details, you should also take into account the direction of windy flow. The horse is fastened with the allen at 10-12 cm.
17. All joints need to be treated with a sealing agent.
18. You can provide ventilation using roofing fans. They are mounted with Ondulin on each of his wave. The sheet located in the upper part of the design should cover the base of the fan.
19. One of the mandatory stages of the work is to arrange the roofing window. Its presence will allow to go to the roof and will contribute to the admission of natural lighting into the indoor indoor. The window is fixed with nails on the joint with sheets. Ontulin at the top of the opening should be located in the opening on the opening.
20. The area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet of sheets with the wall is drawn up with the help of special elements that are called rtands. To produce these parts, the same material is used as in the manufacture of ONDULIN.
21. At the jock should be paved isolation. An additional element of the crate on top is mounted for attaching endanda, and this part is installed.
22. The docking zone of the wall and roof is covered by apron, which is fixed to sheets with nails. If the lumens remain between the skate or cornice and roofing material, they should be filled with a special filler.
23. If necessary, bypass the pipe should determine its perimeter to properly cut the sheets. Then the cutouts of the required form are performed.
24. The process of adjusting ondulin to the pipe involves the same actions as the work on the organization of adjustment to the wall.
25. After the installation is completed, the joints between sheets on the roof must be isolated from moisture penetration. Manufacturers of Ontulin have developed a self-adhesive tape of Ondouflesh for this purpose. With it, it is also an insulation of the connection zone of roofing window openings with a roof. Ontouflesh allows you to solve two tasks: protect the roof from moisture receipt and give it a finished look.

Care rules

Ondulin coating is recommended to examine annually on the subject of possible defects in order to notice them in a timely manner and eliminate them. The most suitable time for this is late spring, when snow cover comes up, and the roof will dry. The air temperature in this period does not yet rise to a high indicator, which has a positive effect on the quality of the materials. If minor cracks and chipsets are found on the roof, use sealants or adhesive repair tapes to eliminate them. The work is performed in the following order.

1. Initially, the damaged area needs to be cleaned of contamination and rub with gasoline or White spirit. It is recommended to do with a cotton vet.
2. Next, a protective coating is removed from the adhesive tape, after which it is superimposed on the damaged zone. Cut it at a distance of 3-5 cm from the crack.
3. To achieve a more aesthetic type of ribbon, you can paint in the color of the roofing material.

If there are more serious defects, separate parts of the roof are replaced with new elements. Thanks to the low weight of Ondulina, it can be done without dismantling the former coating. There are two ways to repair:

• with mounting frame;
• without crate.

The first method involves the installation of a new crate, which is styled on the roof in the longitudinal direction. This work is carried out taking into account the angle of inclination, as in the course of the installation of the material. To install a new frame in the same crate, you need to drill holes. First of all, bars are installed at the edges. To determine the lower edge of the structure between bars, a rope is stretched. In this case, the process of laying the roofing material does not differ from the usual installation technology.

The last option provides for the installation of sheets on the old material. The advantage of this method is the speed of work. However, it also has disadvantages. One of them is the inability to ensure ventilation. Also, when using this method, there is a possibility not to get fasteners in the framework. As a result, the new coating will remain holes, through which moisture will flow under the roof.

From the contamination of the roof from ONDulin is cleared only by means of brushes or brooms. It is impossible to use metal tools for this purpose, such as a shovel. Thus, it is possible to damage the coating.

Conclusion

Ontulin is an innovative roofing material that began to conquer the domestic building market not so long ago. But thanks to the most advantages, he has already gained significant distribution. Among the advantages, durability, aesthetics, resistance to weathering and chemical impacts and ease of installation are possible. Installation of this material is a task with which even a novice master without qualified training can cope.
