Applying EPDM alternative lead flashing

The way of laying alternative lead flashing obviously varies from situation to situation, but the basics are the same. Before you start laying alternative lead flashing, first determine the amount and what type or colour of alternative lead flashing you need. Then make sure that the surface is free of grease, moisture and dust so that the alternative lead flashing has the best chance of adhering. When laying alternative lead flashing, adhere to the following steps: 

1. Apply the alternative lead flashing to the surface area and if necessary cut it to size, this can be done easily with scissors; 
2. Overlap the sections where necessary, keeping an overlap of at least 10 cm. Tip: on one section, fold the protruding piece inwards a bit and lay the other side over it. 
3. Press the alternative lead flashing well. This can be done with a pressure roller if necessary. Create a business account now and enjoy great advantages such as a fixed business discount!
