Learn all about our new underlay solution, ISOLINE, which is perfect for low pitched tiles roofs.
For those undertaking a home renovation project, did you know recent changes in planning rules mean home owners will be able to add two extra floors to their houses without needing full planning permission? This news brings an increased demand for low pitched roofing, as homeowners seek to maximise their living space.
If it’s low pitched roofing you’re interested in, you’re going to want to find out about our market-leading underlay system, ISOLINE.
You may already be familiar with our corrugated roofing sheets, we have an extensive range of styles including our CLASSIC sheets, our ONDUVILLA tile strips and BARDOLINE shingles. All of which are perfect for sheds, outbuildings, pergolas, and more but our ISOLINE product is a little bit different!
ISOLINE is a BBA-certified underlay system designed to work as a waterproof layer underneath traditional roof tiles. The goal is to make the pitch as low as possible while retaining the integrity of the roof structure so it remains weathertight. Already an essential for many professional roofers, ISOLINE is a sustainable ‘roof beneath a roof’.
We have two ISOLINE products available, so let’s find out a bit more about each…
ISOLINE ONDUTILE
This BBA-certified underlay system is ideal for low-pitch roofs and works to form a waterproof barrier against any potential water leaks over time that may occur through a breach in the primary roofing. This underlay is super versatile and will work under materials including concrete, slate, or clay, enhancing the performance of your roof and enabling quick and easy waterproofing. It’s the perfect solution for your home extension, where additional habitable space can be added without harming the overall look of the property.
Our ISOLINE ONDUTILE underlay offers fast installation, due to it being lightweight and easy to manipulate and it’s extremely easy to install and tile over the top. Acting as a “roof under a roof” you can feel safe in the knowledge that your new roof will be 100% leak-free. We’re so confident in this product that we offer a 30-year guarantee!
Ideally used for: low pitched roofs on your home extensions.
And then we also have our ISOLINE LOW LINE
Our ISOLINE LOW LINE system acts as a waterproof barrier underneath your roof to ensure water is kept at bay, preventing any leaks. ISOLINE roofing underlays also meet the ‘green agenda’, as the material is made of a minimum 50% recycled cellulose fibres, contain no asbestos and do not release any hazardous substances. The ISOLINE LOW LINE sheet also benefits from having 24 mm deep corrugations. The low height corrugations make it the ideal sheet for use on low pitched roofs. The LOW LINE sheet is also made up of 21 corrugations, which gives the sheet its maximum rigidity.
The ISOLINE LOW LINE underlay sheets work with any type of tiles and will both complement and enhance the performance of your roof. This is especially useful for maintaining the aesthetic of a heritage building.
Ideally used for: very low-pitched roofs on home extensions and heritage sites.
Key ISOLINE benefits
As a quick round-up, here are the key benefits of both of our ISOLINE products:
- 30-year warranty
- Easy installation
- Lightweight and easy to handle and manipulate
- Suitable for low pitch roofs
- Watertight acting as a ‘roof under a roof’
As well as our ISOLINE range, you might also be interested to find out more about our ONDUTISS membrane, designed to preserve the waterproofing of roofs and buildings.
This BBA-certified permeable roof membrane is made up of three layers, with 100, 120, 140 and 160gsm available. It’s known for its super-strength and resistance to stretching and tearing. Membranes can often suffer from damage during installation on a roof through accidental loads such as tools or falling tiles. Never ideal! Thankfully, the extreme tear resistance of ONDUTISS AIR ensures the highest durability and resilience.
Key ONDUTISS benefits

- High vapour permeability
- Can be used under our corrugated roofing sheets, tile strips and shingles as well as all other roofing materials
- Fast and easy installation with overlap indicators printed on membranes
