Does Onduline sheets help keep a building cooler in summer?

Thermal comfort depends on the complete building design. Insulation, ventilation and the roof build-up all play an important role in controlling temperatures during warmer months.

Onduline sheets can help keep a building cooler in summer compared to traditional metal roofing.

Because they are made from a composite of bitumen and organic fibres rather than metal, Onduline sheets have low thermal conductivity. This means they do not absorb and radiate solar heat into the building the way steel or tin sheets do, preventing that "oven effect" on hot days.

To maximize this cooling effect, you should ensure:

  • Good Ventilation: Install effective eaves and ridge vents to allow any trapped warm air to escape.
