Lead-Free Roofing Flashing

Why choose Ubiflex lead free flashing?
Ubiflex lead free flashing is 80% lighter than lead flashing, making it easier and safer to handle in tricky rooftop locations. It is easy to cut with a sharp knife and is up to 50% quicker to install. It is highly malleable and mouldable, and can be worked in both directions. It’s even self-sealing if punctured. Crucially, unlike lead, Ubilflex flashing has no re-sale value as scrap, so it is of no interest to thieves. |

Discover the sustainable, cost-effective alternative to lead flashing – Now with BBA certification!
As the price of lead continues to rise, along with concerns about its environmental impact, Ubiflex lead-free flashing from Eurocell Building Plastics (EBP) represents the leading alternative to lead flashing. It combines a special polyethin compound with aluminium mesh reinforcement, and is quick and easy to fit. It can be shaped and moulded just like lead and is suitable for most applications where lead is traditionally used. What’s more, it’s non-toxic, 100% recyclable and has a considerably lower carbon footprint than lead. For this reason the BBA has recently awarded Ubiflex lead free flashing a full certificate (certificate no. 08-4577)

With Ubiflex you can form aprons up to 12 metres long with no seams. It can be fixed using sealant tape, silicone, traditional chase-and-wedge methods, a heat gun or nails. You’ll also generate less on-site waste than with traditional materials. Ubiflex is compatible with all common building materials and components, such as thermal panels, extract flues, ventilators and rooflights. It can also be used to form damp-proof courses and cavity trays in masonry walls.
