Onduclair PC Onduline polycarbonate cladding covers the covered hall of the preparation center for the Olympic BMX Racing events in Troyes

The architectural firm in charge of this project, Herard & Da Costa Architectes, selected ONDUCLAIR® PC ONDULINE polycarbonate sheets for the cladding of the rounded structure at the front of the hall. 150 m2 of ONDUCLAIR plates^® PC GO 110 10/10° Opalin elegantly dresses the structure while bringing lightness, luminosity and transparency to the work.

For the architect Frédéric Herard: « I integrate ONDUCLAIR polycarbonate sheets^® PC ONDULINE for many years in my projects. This high-performance and luminous material lightens the structure of the hall in the landscape. The opaline allows the structure to be seen slightly, which softens the junction between the ground floor and the terrace. The flexibility of the plates makes it possible to follow the curve and create a beautiful rounding in cladding. The semi-circle of the extension and the corrugated profiles of the ONDUCLAIR polycarbonate sheets^® PC ONDULINE recalls the shapes of BMX tracks »

ONDUCLAIR plates^® PCs also allow the creation of an accessible terrace for television sets. Their flexibility, resistance (to fire, impact and UV) and their durability make them an ideal choice for this project. A true place of sharing and exchange, this majestic hall, intended to host various sporting events, creates a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere for BMX athletes and spectators.

ONDUCLAIR PC: light and easy to install solution

Arsene Davulian from the company DAVULIAN ÉTANCHÉITÉ who carried out the installation of the cladding states: “ ONDUCLAIR^® PC is a lightweight and easy to handle solution. It allows easy cutting, making it a simple product to use and install. 3 people were mobilized for 2 days to install the 150 m² of ONDUCLAIR® PC plates. We carried out a vertical installation of the plates on this metal frame building »

High-performance, bright plates at the cutting edge of technology

ONDUCLAIR plates^® ONDULINE PCs are designed to promote natural lighting in the building. They offer exceptional resistance to discoloration, corrosion and degradation from external elements. Their long-term durability makes them a suitable material for sports infrastructures and public buildings.

10 year warranty, ONDUCLAIR^® PC maintains its properties over the long term thanks to its anti-UV treatment applied to the exterior surface using a co-extrusion technique.

Its installation method is particularly simple thanks to the fixing kit offered by ONDULINE. It includes, depending on the plate model chosen, specific plastic bridges which fit the shape of the plate and wooden single screws or lag screws to be stuffed depending on the type of support. ONDUCLAIR^® PC can be used in all geographical areas because it resists very high temperatures (110°C) as well as the lowest (-40°C).

Its great strength and resistance to shocks make it recommended in regions regularly affected by hail. It has numerous advantages in terms of aesthetics, performance, costs and speed of execution of projects which appeal to architects and project managers.

In addition to their remarkable technical performances, ONDUCLAIR plates^® PCs provide great architectural flexibility, enabling a multitude of creative applications in building design.
