Onduline Roofing Systems: Lightweight, Durable & Sustainable by Buildtech Roofing Solutions
Introduction
When it comes to roofing, not all materials are created equal. For decades, builders have leaned on heavy, metal sheets or concrete tiles. But there’s a smarter choice — Onduline roofing systems. These lightweight, bitumen-based roofing sheets combine strength, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability in a way that’s perfect for industrial, residential, and commercial structures.
At Buildtech Roofing Solutions, we’re proud to be authorised distributors of Onduline roofing systems in India. In this article, we’ll explore what makes Onduline special, how it works, and why it’s a game-changer for your next roofing project.
What Is Onduline Roofing?
Onduline roofing systems are lightweight roofing sheets made of a unique composite: bitumen + cellulose fibres + special resins. buildtechroof.in+2sea.onduline.com+2 This composition creates a durable, waterproof sheet that’s both strong and flexible. ph.onduline.com+1
Onduline offers a full system — not just sheets. This includes matching ridges, flashings, sealing tape, and other accessories so your roof looks consistent and performs reliably. in.onduline.com
Key Benefits of Choosing Onduline Roofing
- Lightweight Construction
Onduline sheets are extremely light — typically around 3 kg/m² for the Classic profile. sea.onduline.com+1 This makes them easier to handle, transport, and install, reducing labor time and structural load. - Waterproof Performance
Thanks to Onduline’s SealSmart technology and monolayer design, these roofing systems offer robust waterproofing. uk.onduline.com+1 That means fewer leaks and more durability under rain, even in challenging climates. - Wind Resistance
Onduline sheets are engineered to withstand strong winds — up to 260 km/h in some installations. sea.onduline.com+1 This makes them suitable for both coastal areas and industrial roofs. - Acoustic Comfort
Unlike metal roofing, Onduline reduces noise. Its bitumen base dampens sound, absorbing vibration and making your building quieter during rain or hail. sea.onduline.com+1 - Thermal Insulation
With their composite makeup, these sheets help regulate indoor temperature. In hot weather, they reflect and dissipate heat, contributing to cooler interiors. onduline.com - Aesthetic Flexibility
Onduline is available in a variety of colours and profiles — including tile-look versions like Onduvilla, shingles (Bardoline), and modern polycarbonate variants like Onduclair. in.onduline.com+1 - Eco-Friendly
Many Onduline products are made from 46%–51% recycled material. uk.onduline.com This makes them a sustainable choice, aligning with green building practices. - Fast Installation
The system is designed for ease — embossed lines guide overlap, and there are no heavy sheets to hoist. uk.onduline.com

Challenges to Consider
While Onduline is highly versatile, there are some trade-offs:

- Colour fading over long exposures — though Onduline’s quality control keeps this minimal.
- Fixing precision is important for warranty and waterproofing guarantees.
