Installation Steps: ONDULINE EASYFIX
Step 1: Prepare the structure
A 21 mm thick minimum support is recommended. If you choose to use discontinuous support, the span between purlins/batten centers must be 28 cm.
Plan to lay sheets in the opposite direction to the prevailing winds.
Like all Onduline sheets, these roofing sheets can be installed over old asphalt shingles.
Step 2: Lay the sheets & Foam Fillers
Lay ONDULINE EASYFIX® FOAM FILLER at 3,5 cm from the edge
of the OSB to secure watertighness and prevent animals to enter
into the roof space.
Start laying the 1st sheet starting from the bottom side of the roof, over the foam filler, with 4 cm overhang. The 1st row of fixing is positioned at 3,5 cm from the edge of the roof support. Fix together the sheet and the
foam filler to the support.
Step 3: Fix the sheets
10 fixings minimum should be used per sheet.
0n average, 10 fixings minimum should be used per sheet. Always fix on the top of corrugations, using Onduline®
fixings with special washer for safe waterproofing.
Step 4: Fixing the verge
Stagger the rows, by starting the second row with a half sheet. Align overlapping lines to ensure perfect waterproofing. (Minimum overlap of 15 cm).
You can increase the overlap to avoid cutting the sheets.
Step 5: Secure the ridge
The aesthetics and wind uplift protection can be optimised by using the ONDULINE VERGE accessory, which is fixed first on the sidewall, then as well on the top of the corrugation.
Secure 6 fixings per verge.
Step 6: Secure the ridge
Cover the ridge with ONDULINE RIDGE Piece fixed 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.
Use a ridge batten to support the Onduline ridge piece as shown.
The ridge element has to overlap the ONDULINE EASYFIX COMPACT sheet by a minimum 12 cm.
