 Lead-free waterproof flashing
Ubiflex is a waterproof flashing material which can be used in all applications where lead is traditionally installed.
- Fully malleable, can be worked in both directions and is self sealing if punctured
- One tenth the weight of lead giving handling, structural and health and safety advantages
- Allows aprons up to 12m long to be formed without seams
- Up to 50% quicker to install than lead
- Compatible with all common building materials and components, such as thermal panels, extract flues, ventilators and rooflights
- Does not cause unsightly staining
- Is only of value to the installer; it has no re-sale value as scrap
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable

Design
Ubiflex is suitable for all applications where lead would traditionally be used.
- Stepped flashings
- Abutment flashings
- Chimney flashings
- Saddle flashings
- Valleys
- Gutters
- Rooflights
- Dormers
- Solar Panels
- Ubiflex can also be used to form damp proof courses and cavity trays in masonry walls
Sitework
Ubiflex can be worked in the same way as lead, but without the need for protective measures.
- Can be cut with a sharp knife
- Can be fixed with stainless steel nails if required
- Can be joined with Ubiflex-PB tape for a watertight joint or crimped like lead
- Is compatible with all other building materials
