Take care to fix Onduline sheets the correct way up, the underside is easily identified by its dimpled rough surface finish, whilst the top of the sheet has a smoother textured finish Warning: Check that your sheet and accessories are genuine Onduline products. Failure to do so can result in lower quality roof performance and invalidate the Onduline roofing system guarantee. Upper sheet surface Lower sheet surface

Maintenance To ensure a long service life for your shingles the roof should be cleaned regularly of leaves and debris, as leaf mould can reduce the service life of the product. Also check that tree and shrub overhanging branches are not into contact with the surface of the roof; as wind generated movement can cause surface damage.
