If a person intended to do full -scale repairs in his house, then at first it is better to start repairing the repair. The range in the roofing market is huge and consumers can not always choose the necessary. This article is aimed at discussing and analyzing two types of roofing metal and ondulin.
So, let’s start with metal tiles. The most popular material for the roof of the future roof. Since the 60s, she took leadership positions in the market and still holds them thanks to many positive aspects. There are quite a lot of them, however, from the whole wide choice, we will highlight the main ones:
– Quality
– Durability
– Thanks to hot galvanizing steel, perfectly resists rust and aggressive external environment
At cost is not expensive.
However, there are several negative aspects:
– The total cost of roofing with metal tiles will be more expensive than with ondulin.

Also, many developers, even during the discussion of the project and the preliminary counting of expenses, do not take into account the specificity of the mounts for metal tiles.
What is Ondulin? Ondulin is a biomass created on the basis of cellulose and covered with a large layer of bitumen. By its ideology, it resembles slate, at a price is a slightly more expensive analogue. Thanks to this, it is environmentally friendly, one of the simplest materials for roofing. Also, it does not require special skills in working with the roof, as well as at the total cost, it wins with metal tiles, thanks to lower prices for fastening. Note that it is possible to make mounts for ondulin yourself, but there is no mounts for metal tiles.

Used mainly in individual projects, less durable, which will require after some time the corresponding replacement. But cheaper than metal tiles.
