Does ONDULINE HR® crack and corrupt in hot and cold weathers?
ONDULINE HR® sheets may be applied both in the most cold and most hot and humid climates easily. No problems have been encountered in applications made in areas where the temperature is +50°C under shadow and in regions where the cold is almost -50°C.
ONDULINE HR® sheets shall be waited for 24 hours in places where it is going to be applied at a temperature of above +5°C and shall be applied afterwards at a level of more than +5 °C. Our factories in Brazil, Malaysia and Russia are indicators that ONDULINE HR® is applied widely both in hot and cold climates.
Does ONDULINE HR® ‘s color change?
A few months after application, the bitumen on the sheet which has been applied as a thin film layer peels with natural effects and then the sheet takes its real color. However, just as it is the case in most paints, the paint of ONDULINE HR® also gets affected by UV rays.

Does ONDULINE HR® penetrate heat or cold? In other words, does it provide heat insulation?
ONDULINE HR® is not a heat insulation material.
Heat insulation is related with the materials heat conductivity coefficient and thickness. Due to the fact that ONDULINE HR®’s heat conductivity coefficient is low it cannot provide heat insulation because its thickness is low.
In case that heat insulation is required, underside the ONDULINE HR®, a heat insulation material with required thickness and at least 18 kg/m3 density should be placed and applied afterwards.
In case that the heat insulation is placed between the beams, the heat insulation material can be at any density.
Is ONDULINE HR® brittle?
ONDULINE HR® is a flexible material. It can be bent 900 along its conduits. And it can be bent at a radius of 5.00 m. perpendicularly to its conduits. It shall be slightly heated in cold weathers prior to bending.
Does ONDULINE HR® corrupt?
It definitely does not corrupt and is not affected of any chemical material by which bitumen is not affected as well.
