Led-a-flex is a lead substitute manufactured with a base of EPDM and aluminium expanded metal. The exceptionally flexible and malleable properties of the metal, together with the excellent UV and ozone resistance of EPDM, combine to provide a totally unique product.
Led-a-flex is designed to replace lead in most modern roofing applications. The product has many advantages over traditional lead flashings for those working in the construction industry, including the simple and quick installation process and non-toxic lightweight material.
Led-a-flex is far quicker to install, at a fraction of the cost, developed as a substitute for lead in maintaining both the flexible and deformable characteristics of traditional lead, while ensuring a lightweight material with the durability of EPDM, making Led-a-flex ideal for complex detailing.
