Lead-Free Flashing
Join the lead-free revolution. Lead-free flashings is an alternative to traditional lead flashing. With health and safety concerns, theft risk and the need for specialist tools and expert knowledge, lead is becoming less favourable by many roofing contractors.
Lead-free flashing is significantly lighter than is lead equivalent, meaning it’s easier and cheaper to transport as well as safe for lifting when being moved on site.
No special tools needed. Their lead-free flashing is cuttable with just a pair or household scissors - easy! Mould into shape with your fingers (Perform hammer is available for larger applications). There is no need to use any patination oil, Fast Flash does not need to be overlapped and lead clips are not required.
