Waterproof in seconds

While every building element is important, the quality of the roof largely determines the overall quality of the home. It begins with ensuring the roof is properly airtight and watertight. Additionally, modern roofs are used to generate sustainable energy and bring more daylight into the home, which requires innovative solutions, including advancements in materials once taken for granted.

As roofing becomes increasingly complex, focusing on essential qualities like watertightness is crucial. Ubiflex Finio excels in this area. Just seconds after application, this lead replacement adheres to the substrate, creating a watertight connection. Even when working at awkward angles, Ubiflex Finio can be easily applied by hand.

Ubiflex Standard- the practical, popular solution.

Ubiflex is a non-lead waterproof flashing material which can be used in most applications where lead is traditionally used to provide a weatherproof junction at features such as changes of direction and materials. With no lead, they have no scrap value and are therefore an ideal way to combat the potential problem of lead theft from roofs.

Complex features or detail

With Ubiflex's malleability it is an ideal solution for when you have a more detailed application as the cutting and sticking is a much quicker process than using traditional lead saving time on site. 

Long flashing runs

Not susceptible to thermal movement. Aprons up to 12m long can be formed without seams or expansion joints - up to 8 times longer than  traditional lead sheet. Consequently, there is less wastage with Ubiflex.
