Onduline publishes new eBook exploring smarter approaches to modern roof design challenges
01 September 2025Onduline Building Products, a leading manufacturer of lightweight roofing solutions, has released a new industry eBook that takes a fresh look at how roofing professionals can address today’s waterproofing challenges, from complex low-pitch installations to heritage refurbishments, retrofit projects and long-span designs.
Role of modern sub-roofs
Developed for architects, specifiers, surveyors and contractors, the guide examines how factors such as evolving weather patterns, changing building regulations, sustainability goals and legacy design constraints are shaping specification decisions. Drawing on technical insight, sector-specific considerations and live project examples, it offers practical approaches to balancing performance, compliance and aesthetics across a wide range of roofing contexts.
The eBook also explores the role of modern sub-roof systems, such as ISOLINE® LOW LINE, as part of a layered approach to roofing, enabling professionals to mitigate installation errors, extend lifecycle performance and ensure watertight results, regardless of the chosen tile or slate finish.
Overcoming waterproofing challenges
Greg Hissey, Technical Sales Manager at Onduline Building Products, said:

This eBook is about sharing knowledge, showing how smarter specification can solve problems that have persisted for decades, while helping professionals deliver long-term, reliable outcomes.”
Available as a free download from the Onduline website, the eBook is designed as a practical resource for anyone involved in the design, specification or installation of roofing systems.
