RoofRoll EPDM Rubber Lead Flashing Alternative is a lightweight, flexible and durable lead substitute for roofing, designed to replace traditional lead flashing across a wide range of modern roofing applications.
Manufactured from a combination of EPDM rubber and expanded aluminium metal, RoofRoll combines the exceptional UV and ozone resistance of EPDM with the flexibility and malleability required to form detailed roof flashings.
The embedded expanded aluminium allows RoofRoll to be shaped and dressed around roof details, while the EPDM construction provides a durable external surface without the weight, toxicity or theft risk associated with traditional lead.
Available in 5m and 10m roll lengths and widths from 150mm to 600mm, RoofRoll can be used for everything from chimney and wall abutment flashings to valleys, dormers, rooflights, parapet walls and complex roof detailing.
Finished in Stone Grey, RoofRoll provides a modern lead-style appearance suitable for slate, tile and other compatible roofing systems.
Lead has traditionally been used for roof flashing because it can be shaped and dressed around complex roof details.
RoofRoll has been developed to provide similar flexible and deformable characteristics using a substantially lighter EPDM and aluminium composite construction.
This makes RoofRoll particularly useful for roofers, builders and installers looking for an alternative to traditional lead for suitable:
The lightweight construction also makes rolls easier to transport, handle and position during installation.
RoofRoll combines two materials to provide the properties required from a flexible roof flashing.
EPDM provides excellent resistance to:
It creates the durable external component of the flashing system.
The embedded aluminium provides the malleability and deformability required to shape RoofRoll around roof details.
Together, the materials create a flexible composite flashing that can be formed to follow complex roof profiles while remaining considerably lighter than traditional lead.
One of RoofRoll’s main advantages is its flexibility.
The material can be formed and dressed around complex roofing details, making it particularly suitable where a rigid flashing material would be difficult to install.
Potential applications include:
This flexibility makes RoofRoll suitable for both straightforward flashing applications and more complicated roof geometry.
RoofRoll can be used to form suitable chimney flashing details, including soakers and cap flashings.
Its flexible EPDM and aluminium construction allows the material to be dressed around the chimney and adjoining roof covering to create the required flashing detail.
RoofRoll can be used for:
Correct detailing and installation remain essential to achieving a successful weather-resistant roofing junction.
Where a pitched roof meets a vertical wall, an appropriate flashing is required to protect the junction.
RoofRoll can be used as a lead alternative for roof-to-wall abutments, providing a flexible material that can be shaped to follow the adjoining roof covering and wall detail.
Its lightweight construction can make installation considerably easier than handling equivalent lengths of traditional lead.
RoofRoll is available in widths up to 600mm and roll lengths up to 10 metres, making it particularly useful for suitable valley applications.
Longer sections can be formed from a continuous roll, potentially allowing some valleys and box valleys to be completed in a single piece without intermediate joins, subject to the dimensions and detailing of the roof.
This can simplify installation while reducing the number of joints within the flashing detail.
Dormer installations frequently require flexible flashing around several different roof junctions.
RoofRoll can be used for suitable:
Its flexibility makes it easier to form around the different angles typically encountered around dormer construction.
RoofRoll can also be used for suitable rooflight flashing and interface details.
The malleable composite construction allows the material to follow adjoining roofing profiles and can be useful when creating or supplementing compatible flashing details around roof windows and rooflights.
Installation should follow the requirements of the rooflight and roofing system manufacturers.
RoofRoll can be used for flashing details on compatible slate and flat tile roofs.
Its ability to be formed and dressed makes it particularly useful at interfaces where the roof covering meets walls, chimneys, dormers or other roof penetrations.
Typical applications include:
Compatibility with the particular roof covering and construction should be confirmed before installation.
RoofRoll is available in a broad selection of widths, allowing the appropriate roll to be selected for different flashing applications.
Available widths include:
Narrower rolls are particularly useful for smaller flashing details, while wider rolls provide additional material for valleys, large abutments and more substantial roof details.
RoofRoll is available in:
Long roll lengths can reduce the number of joints required across larger flashing applications.
For example, a suitable valley measuring less than 10 metres may potentially be formed from a single continuous 10m RoofRoll section, subject to the required detailing and installation specification.
Traditional lead can be extremely heavy, particularly when working with wider or longer sections.
RoofRoll’s EPDM and aluminium construction provides a significantly lighter alternative, making rolls easier to:
The lower weight can be particularly beneficial when working at height or carrying materials across larger roof areas.
RoofRoll has been developed to provide a straightforward alternative to traditional lead installation.
The flexible material can be cut, positioned and formed around roof details without many of the handling difficulties associated with heavy lead sheet.
For bonding applications, RoofRoll should be installed using the appropriate compatible adhesive and according to the RoofRoll installation requirements.
For suitable bonded applications, RoofRoll can be installed using RoofRoll Fix Composite Adhesive.
RoofRoll Fix is an MS Polymer adhesive and sealant designed for adhesion of EPDM to many substrates, including suitable non-porous and bituminous surfaces.
Using the appropriate compatible adhesive helps create a secure installation while retaining the flexibility of the RoofRoll flashing system.
EPDM is particularly well suited to external applications because of its resistance to UV radiation and ozone.
These properties help RoofRoll withstand prolonged exposure to external conditions while maintaining the flexibility required from a roofing flashing material.
This provides a durable alternative to materials that may become brittle or degrade following prolonged outdoor exposure.
Lead theft from roofs has historically been a significant problem, particularly on:
Because RoofRoll does not contain the valuable lead traditionally targeted for scrap, it provides a lower theft-risk alternative to traditional lead flashing.
This can be particularly valuable on buildings where previous lead theft has resulted in repeated roof damage and water ingress.
RoofRoll provides a non-toxic alternative to traditional lead flashing, avoiding the handling considerations associated with lead-based materials.
Its EPDM and aluminium construction makes it suitable for projects where reducing the use of lead is a priority.
RoofRoll can be used for a wide variety of suitable roofing details, including:
RoofRoll is available in a range of widths and lengths to suit different roofing applications.
The appropriate width should be selected according to the specific flashing detail, required coverage and roofing system.
RoofRoll is a flexible lead flashing alternative manufactured from EPDM rubber and expanded aluminium metal.
The aluminium provides the malleability required to shape the flashing, while the EPDM provides excellent UV and ozone resistance.
It is designed to replace traditional lead in many modern roofing applications.
RoofRoll is specifically designed as a lead substitute for many roofing applications.
It can be used for suitable chimney flashings, wall abutments, valleys, dormers, rooflights, parapet walls, ridges, hips and other roof details traditionally completed using lead.
The suitability of any flashing material ultimately depends on the specific roof construction and detail.
