Default What is this roofing material?

A lake house we're looking at has corrugated roofing panels (4x8) that
look like a metal roof from a distance but, when you get close, they
are about 1/4 to 3/8 inch think. Some kind of composite. The
inspector didn't know what they were. Can you give me a lead to look
up?

Thanks,

Brad

Ondura? That's 4'x6' panels of corrugated asphalt. Supposedly usable
on housing, although with my rate of pushing nails too deep, I only
use it for farm outbuildings. It's cheap, though - cheaper than
almost anything else I could find out there, for the simplicity of
putting it up.

The inspector didn't know, after a visual. So, you post this question
without a photo, expecting a lead. A lake house in Uganda?

Did you forget to take your meds today?

It's the inspector you should be insulting, not the poster. How can
an inspector do his/her job if they don't know what they're inspecting?

I'd question anything the inspector told me. It is his job to know
construction materials and uses, or at least be able to find the
information. I'd fire his ass.

All the big box stores have it. Called ONDURA. Pretty decent price/
value ratio for many projects. Not vey common on $1M Macmansions.
