Lead Flashing Alternatives

Modern lead flashing alternatives provide a non-toxic, anti-theft, and cost-effective solution for roof waterproofing. These materials are typically 50% cheaper and up to 80% lighter than traditional lead, making them significantly faster and safer to install.

Unlike traditional lead, these alternatives have zero scrap value, eliminating the risk of theft and potentially lowering insurance premiums. Many options can be installed up to 50% faster than lead without needing specialist tools. 

Products like Cromar Leadax dress just like traditional lead and are as malleable as Code 5 lead, providing a seamless, watertight finish.

Manufactured from sustainable materials like recycled PVB or modified bitumen, these alternatives are non-toxic and often fully recyclable.
