A fast waterproofing solution for your outbuilding.

Installation Steps: ONDULINE EASYFIX
Step 1: Prepare the structure
Installation can be on either full deck like on OSB panel (recommended) or on discontinuous support with purlins/battens at a spacing of 37 cm.
Start laying sheets over the gutter with 3.5 cm overhang.
Step 2: Lay the sheets
Lay sheets in the opposite direction to the prevailing winds.
Stagger the rows, by starting the second row with a halfsheet.
Ensure easily the waterproofing by aligning the two overlapping lines.
Step 3: Fix the sheets
15 fixings minimum should be used per sheet.
To fix the sheets, always set the screw or nail in the top of corrugation on the grey marks and in the right order, as advised. Wait to fix the last corrugation until you overlap it with the verge element or the next sheet.
Step 4: Fixing the verge
The aesthetics and wind uplift protection can be optimised by using the verge element accessory, which is first fixed on the sidewall, then as well on the top of the corrugation.
Ensure a minimum 12cm overlap when fixing the verge with 6 fixings per verge element.
Step 5: Secure the ridge
Cover the ridge and fix it on each side of the roof, on top of each corrugation. The direction of the overlap is opposite to the direction of the prevailing winds.
Step 6: Ridge overlap
Use a ridge batten to support the Onduline ridge piece as shown.
The ridge element has to overlap the ONDULINE EASYSTYLE sheet by a minimum 12 cm.
