The Truth About Polymer Lead Free Flashings

Wed, 29/07/2015

The market for lead free flashings is continuing to gather pace, with alternatives springing up all over the web. Right now, there's still confusion about the polymer "liquid lead" solution, with some major bodies tending to lump it in with other modern systems that won't withstand the more exposed weather conditions often found on church roofs (etc) and that don't accurately reproduce the traditional lead look. Our lead polymer system does both and it bonds to nearly ANY substrate!

What's more, our flashings are extremely malleable (up to 60% elasticity) and provide seamless, jointless edgings that totally prevent water ingress, no matter the roof profile. Detailing can be accurately recreated and the system is affordable, durable, theftproof and better for the environment.
