Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is GRP simulated lead flashing trim used for? A: It's used to weatherproof and finish joints between a flat roof and abutting walls, chimneys or upstands - giving the traditional appearance of lead flashing without the weight, cost or maintenance.
Q: How is it fixed in place? A: It's mechanically fixed to the wall with suitable fixings and sealed at the top edge, then dressed down over the EPDM membrane and bonded or sealed at the roof junction.
Q: Does it need any maintenance? A: No, unlike genuine lead it won't oxidise, corrode or require regular upkeep - it's a low-maintenance, long-life alternative to traditional flashing.
Q: Can it be cut to length on site? A: Yes, it can be cut with standard tools to suit the length of your wall or abutment. Order slightly more than your exact measurement to allow for trimming and overlaps.
Q: Is it suitable for both new installations and repairs? A: Yes, it works well for new EPDM roof installations and for replacing failed or ageing lead flashing on existing roofs.
Q: What colour/finish does it come in? A: It's designed to replicate the traditional grey lead appearance, blending in with existing brickwork and roofing details.
