Wakaflex

Wakaflex Flashing - Trusted on Aussie Homes since 2001

Wakaflex is a premium lead free flashing that is an alternative to traditional lead flashing. It is predominantly used on residential tile roofs but can also be used on metal and polycarbonate.
No specialist tools are required, and installation can be up to 50% quicker than traditional lead flashing.

Wakaflex is highly durable composed of a polyisobutylene top sheet, an inner mesh for strength, and two butyl strips for adhesion, and it’s the only lead free flashing on the market to have a Bush Fire Attack Rating. 

Wakaflex is the professional choice for flashing abutments, chimneys, walls and other rising structures

Wakaflex is a premium lead free flashing. Made from an extruded Polymer rubber called Polyisobuthylene (PIB), Wakaflex has the unique ability to chemically bond to itself when overlapped. This creates one continuous waterproof seal for joins and step flashings. No other flashing material available today can provide this level of protection at roof/wall joints. Internally, Wakaflex contains an aluminium mesh that provides rigidity and a lasting memory when dressed to the roof surface. Wakaflex has two butyl sealing strips running along both edges of the roll, and a 3-piece HDPE protective backing. With a three-dimensional stretch (up to 50% in length and 15% in width), Wakaflex is designed to replace lead flashing in all its traditional applications and dresses down to any roofing material in a smooth seamless finish.
