Why Quality Flashings Give the Best Watertight Seals

With the right flashings, you have a watertight solution

Using the best flashings makes sense on a whole range of levels.

The last thing you need is to have water seepage or penetration coming into a building.

Flashings give crucial protection at particular junctions around the building such as roof hips, valleys, the joins and intersections between roofs and walls, around chimneys, vent pipes and even windows.

Of all the different types on the market today, it always pays to go with a quality made and trusted brand. Doing the job right has never been easier when you go with the best plumbing supplies available.

Protection for today and years to come

As with any protective measure, you want to know that it’s not just a quick fix that will only mean the job needs to be done again properly at some stage of the future. It can actually be a costlier exercise and more time consuming to have to repair and replace a substandard option.

There are many reasons to choose top quality flashings when a roof joint, connection or pipework needs the best possible protection.

With the best brands, you can be sure you get;

  • The strongest protection from any moisture or water seepage
  • A long lasting safeguard for years to come
  • Safe and secure sealant that can withstand the harsh Australian climate
  • Easy installation 
  • Minimal tool requirement
  • A quality product that can be used for both standard and retrofit applications

Why risk anything but the best when possible structural damage can be easily avoided? By choosing the right product from the start, you have a better chance of a water-free future to the home or other buildings.

How reliable can roof and pipe protection be?

The key reason for flashings is to offer a reliable protection against water and the damage it can do. Insufficient or poor quality flashings can lead to serious issues such as leaks and seepage where water or moisture travels past the roofing and gets into your home. 

The damage may not always be apparent but tell-tale signs of leakage are any stains on the ceiling or walls as well as having areas that are usually dry showing signs of moisture.

Sometimes the most obvious signs of water seepage and possible flashing damage can be seen from outside the building. This is when you are likely to see stains and damage from water on exterior walls. Mould can also grow in and around damaged flashing.

The other problem that can occur is that the flashing becomes loose and be susceptible to further damage or even being blown away in a storm or high winds.

Using the best possible flashing will help you avoid these problems and keep your place safe and secure from water damage. Keeping your roof and pipework protected is easier than you might realise.

The flashing you need is ready when you are

Of all the different flashing products available on the market today, there are two names that stand out for quality, reliability and a guarantee of long life protection.

The leaders in the flashing field are Aquaseal and Leadax. 

Why?
Because these roof flashings are specially manufactured to withstand the often harsh Australian weather conditions. They provide strong, long, reliable protection from water leaks and seepage because of the high grade materials used.

They are perfect for all types of repairs, can easily and securely wrap around existing pipes, withstand constant temperatures (as low as -50˚C and up to 240˚C) and are suitable for a range of different applications.

With a special polymer, they are both ozone and UV resistant and come with a full 20 year warranty.
