 Onduline Cladding Posted 7 Jul 12 9:30 AM
Just reading about a new Oakura home with Onduline cladding. We're planning to build a new home and we like the look of it as a cladding material. Anyone care to share their experience of it as a cladding choice? Thanks

Hi Robbie B
We have experience using it on our own place, but as a fence and not as cladding, which we have since removed and replaced with wood palings inside 5 years.
There are a number of other posts regarding this product on this forum.

Thanks for that Seeker. Did you replace your fence because of a failing in Onduline? I'm wanting to know how Onduline performs as a cladding.

We replaced it because it's mechanical strength was too weak for that application. We also have it on our garage roof - a pukeko fell on the roof (don't ask...) and the material broke and the garage leaked - yeh for gunk.

Onduline is quite weak .
By the way it is always better to have a watertight underroof as leaks can happen with coloursteel and tiles as well and the potential damage cost is far greater than the 12 or 15mm ply and membrane.

Thanks to everyone for their posts. I've just watched the Target programme on Onduline and I've gone right off it.
