Lead has been the standard flashing material on roofs for 100s of years. However, cost and environmental concerns mean that lead is becoming increasingly unattractive. KoraFlex is the ideal alternative flashing material.

 

KoraFlex is an aluminium roll, fully coated with a butyl adhesive backing for superior adhesion. It is ideal for weatherproofing roof junctions such as side and top abutments around chimneys and dormers etc. KoraFlex is much lighter and more flexible than lead, making it easier to handle and install.

 

The backing film can be removed in sections as required, making positioning on the roof easy. The adhesive backing remains workable for an hour but then provides a strong adhesion to the roof to resist wind uplift. Because KoraFlex is made from aluminium there is no risk to the environment from any chemical leaching onto the roof.

 

Because Koraflex has a profiled surface it is easy to closely dress the flashing into the shape of the tiles. Koraflex is available in 320 and 450 mm widths and can be simply cut to length/width using a sharp knife.
