Onduline CPDs & Training for Building Professionals

This CPD covers “Understanding Low Pitched Roofs And The Benefits Of Sub-roof Systems". During the presentation we will talk about the importance of roof pitches and the considerations required to ensuring the right pitch for a building. The CPD also focuses on the tighter restrictions that came in to force within roofing with the launch of BS 5534, with amendments in 2015 and 2018 in relation to extreme weather changes and a need to align with European Standards.

BS 5534 recognises that there are situations where it would be difficult to avoid using a roofing product at less than the recommended roof pitch, and highlights that a roof that is designed below the recommended minimum roof pitches should have a functional weatherproof sub-roof system to remove any rainwater ingress safely to the eaves gutter. These situations can include a lean-to on an existing building where a window, cavity tray line or boundary restricts the roof pitch.

The seminar aims to help delegates:
1. Understand why roof pitches differ.
2. Have an understanding of the pros and cons of different roof pitches.
3. Have an understanding of when to use a different roof pitch.
4. Have an insight in to how a low pitch roof can benefit an end-user.
5. Have an understanding of what a sub-roof is, and when to use one.

This CPD covers “Advanced Roofing Solutions for Heritage: Balancing Preservation & Performance”. The CPD session will focus on the application of advanced waterproofing solutions within the context of heritage and conservation projects. It will explore the implementation of innovative sub-roof systems for protecting and preserving historic buildings, ensuring compliance with regulations, and maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of heritage sites.

By implementing a suitable sub-roof system for heritage sites and older properties, existing or reclaimed tiles can be reused, preserving the original character and appearance of the building.

The seminar aims to help delegates:

1. Understand the different types of roofs used on heritage buildings.
2. Understand the challenges of waterproofing heritage roofs.
3. Understand the key principles of heritage roof conservation and how to balance modern interventions with historical integrity.
4. Gain knowledge on specifying roofing materials and systems that respect both functional performance and the aesthetic requirements of heritage buildings.
5. Understand what a sub-roof is, and when to use one.
6. Have an insight in to the different sub-roofs available

ISOLINE® LOW LINE acts as the primary waterproofing layer of a roof, making roof tiles a secondary line of defence. It catches any water that manages to pass through the tiles and drains it down to gutter level.

We have a range of installation training for the ISOLINE® LOW LINE sub-roof system available upon request. 

This session is aimed at roofing contractors and installers to assist with live project installations. 

ISOLINE® LOW LINE is a unique waterproofing system that guarantees waterproofing for:

• Low pitch roofs (any tile can be installed at 10 degrees with ISOLINE)
• Retrofit: The sub-roof allows existing tiles to be re-used as ISOLINE will take care of the waterproofing
• Heritage: The original roof can be preserved whilst ISOLINE ensures it's watertight.
• Bespoke Projects: Any roof tile can be installed with ISOLINE as low as 10 degrees, even cladding tiles. Submit your details below and a member of the team will be happy to support you.
