Wakaflex – World’s number in 1 lead free flashing.

Wakaflex is a 'Lead Free' flashing solution designed to replace lead in all roof applications, and is suitable for nearly all roof profiles and types including tiles, metal and polycarbonate. Celebrating 20 years in 2012, Wakaflex is the leading lead free flashing solution in Australia and the world having sold over 6 million rolls across 40 countries. Its benefits include reduced installation time, reduced labour costs because of its simple handling and requires no specialist tools.
It can be installed up to 50% quicker than lead - see video demonstration.

With a malleability that provides a tight seal immediately, it is perfect for use in pitch transitions, wall abutments, rising parts of structures such as dormers and chimney flashings.

Wakaflex is an excellent method to make quick and secure repairs and can increase the weather tightness of roofs by creating a sealed edge.

This next generation flashing solution eliminates the environmental and water harvesting concerns associated with lead products while maintaining the integrity of the roof.

It's inert qualities mean that Wakaflex can be installed with all roofing materials and will not contaminate any run off being collected and used for domestic purposes.

Wakaflex is the longest established and leading non lead flashing solution available in Australia. Suitable for most roof profiles and types it is the only butyl based flashing with a unique chemical self-bonding ability and without a fully backed adhesive for easier installation. It has an aluminium honeycomb mesh embedded into the UV resistant butyl based rubber which allows for easy dressing to any roof profile without the use of any tools or additional silicone.

It’s lighter, safer and easier to use. Try it on your next project and see for yourself why so many have already left lead for dead.
