Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Onduline sheets require minimal maintenance to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. Here are some key maintenance tips:

1. Debris Removal: Regularly remove leaf debris and other build-ups from the surface of the sheets. Accumulated debris can decompose into leaf mold, which may soften the Onduline sheets and reduce their lifespan.
2. Tree and Shrub Management: Trim any tree or shrub branches that are in contact with the sheets. Movement from wind can cause these branches to damage the Onduline sheets over time.
3. Repainting: To maintain or rejuvenate the appearance of your Onduline roof, consider repainting the sheets with water-based roofing paint.
4. Safety Precautions During Maintenance:

    

- Ensure that all workers can perform maintenance tasks safely without damaging the corrugated bituminous sheets or tiles.

- Verify that the roof frame can support the additional weight of the workers.

- Use a ladder or similar equipment to distribute weight evenly and avoid walking directly on the corrugations or between two supporting battens or purlins.

- For roofs with a steep pitch, it is essential to use a safety harness to ensure worker safety.

- In some cases, an aerial lift may be necessary to access the roof safely.
