Ondura is making waves in roofing for more reasons that one.

If Ondura wasn't your first roof, make it you last.

Whether as a first roof or a re-roof, Ondura sheets bring you many advantages over conventional roofing material like: longer life, stylish good-looks, easy installation, and low maintenance. And Ondura has been in successful use on roofs all over the world for over 40 years.

There's no other roofing material like it.

Ondura's very construction makes it different. And makes it a superior roofing and siding material at the same time. It's corrugated design enables it to be both lightweight and strong. While its total asphalt impregnation means it outlasts most other roofing. Including metal.

But you don't have to take our word that Ondura is tough. It's met rigid building codes throughout the country.

Ondura re-roofs over practically anything.

If you didn't choose Ondura for your original roof, it should be your choice as a re-roof. The advantages of not having to tear off the existing roof makes re-roofing easier, faster, and cheaper. That's why Ondura is quickly becoming one of the most popular re-roofing materials ever.

On shingle roofs, Ondura can be applied over up two layers of shingles if the roof has solid nail base and if the surface is relatively smooth. And no preparation is necessary; simply nail Ondura sheets or titles in place.With uneven surface, such as corrugated metal roofing, nailing strips can be used to even the surface. Then the sheets can be installed as over purloins.

Also, because Ondura is more rigid that shingles, the problem of "telegraphing". or surface being covered, is eliminated.

With Ondura, you save money on labor. And that's not all.

Ondura has a major cost advantage over other types of roofing. Especially when you consider that man-hours can be cut virtually in half for most jobs. Which means you can usually complete the job in one day instead of two.

Clean-up cost is also cut because non-biodegradable shingles are covered over instead of thrown away. And you'll be helping save the environment as well.

It's easy to install, even by yourself.

Ondura doesn't require special skills or tools to install. Just common tools, such a hammer, chalk line, saw, and a measuring tape. Ondura's lightweight panels weight only 18 pounds each and have no sharp edges. This makes them easy to handle.

And our installation brochure takes you step-by-step through the procedure, from estimating materials to handling hips, valleys, flashing, and slope changes.

There's even a section on how to make sure your roof isn't out of square. In fact, these instructions cover everything you need to know. Even if you've never put up roofing or siding before.

Accessories include ridge vents, fiber-glass skylights (for use with sheets only), a molded pipe flashing accessory, and color-coordinated Ondura nails.

Good looking Ondura is easy to maintain, too.

Ondura comes in a variety of handsome baked on colors with a smooth finish.

What's more, Ondura sheets and tiles can be repainted. So you roof can have what ever color scheme you want to complement the structure it's on.

Ondura. It's the new waves in roofing and siding with over 40 years of reliable performance behind it.

Agricultural Use

DOWN ON THE FARM, ONDURA GOES UP EVERYWHERE

Ondura is a smart buy for any farm.

For a number of reasons. To begin with, it's the roofing and siding sheet that does away with rust and corrosion—even under the worst barnyard conditions. Because unlike metal, Ondura's corrugated fiber/asphalt construction gives you the life-long durability you want and need in a roofing and siding.

So while destructive chemical reactions eat away at metal sheeting, your Ondura-covered buildings simply do their job protecting animals and equipment year after year.

And consider this. When properly installed, Ondura can withstand snow loads up to 55 pounds per square foot. And wind forces of over 100 miles per hour. What's more, an Ondura roof is less noisy in stormy weather than any metal roof. This is because Ondura's asphalt construction absorbs and dulls the sounds of rain and buffeting wind. So livestock stay calmer than they would under a loud metal roof.

 All in all, Ondura's got you covered on the farm.
