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.

Application
• Chimneys.
• All abutments at walls.

Compatibility
• Wakaflex® is not compatible with bituminous material.
• Wakaflex® must not be installed such that ponding can occur.
Installation
• Laps should be not less than 50mm using a roller to apply pressure.
• Ensure Wakaflex® is only laid on dry, dust and oil-free surfaces.
• Turn into brickwork joints or chase in by not less than 30mm. Use sealant to seal the joint.
• Where the joint is large or uneven, form a welt at the back of the joint and seal with Sealant as above.
• Use strips of Wakaflex® folded several times as wedges into brickwork to retain the flashing in place prior to sealing with sealant.
• At top edge abutments use Wakaflex® to cover the slates by a minimum of 150mm and turn up wall by 75mm. Fix in brickwork joints as above.
• At mansards, extend over slates on lower roof by a minimum of 150mm. Fit a lay board and tilting fillet to the upper roof and extend flashing 150 – 200mm up the slope. Form a 30 mm welt at the top. Nail into position at the top at approximately 150 mm centres.
