Why Choose Aquarius Aqua Flash Instead of Traditional Metal or Lead Flashing?

Traditional lead and metal flashings have been used in roofing for decades, but modern roofing projects demand materials that are easier to install, more adaptable, and environmentally responsible. Aquarius Aqua Flash delivers these benefits without compromising long-term weather protection.

Easier Installation

Unlike rigid metal or lead flashing, Aquarius Aqua Flash is highly flexible and conforms easily to corrugated, ribbed and tiled roof profiles. The full butyl adhesive backing allows the flashing to bond directly to the roof surface, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for extensive mechanical fixing in many applications.

The full butyl adhesive backing allows the flashing to bond directly to the roof surface, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for extensive mechanical fixing in many applications.

Excellent Flexibility

Buildings naturally expand and contract with temperature changes. The EPDM rubber construction allows Aqua Flash to accommodate normal building movement without cracking or fatigue, helping maintain a watertight seal over time.

Lead-Free and Safer to Handle

Aquarius Aqua Flash provides an effective alternative to traditional lead flashing. Being lead-free, it is easier to handle and removes the need to work with a heavy metal material while still delivering excellent weather resistance.

Superior Weather Resistance

Manufactured from premium EPDM rubber with reinforced aluminium mesh, Aqua Flash is designed to resist UV exposure, ozone, rain, and temperature extremes. The material maintains its flexibility throughout its service life, helping protect against water ingress.

Lightweight and Easy to Work With

Aqua Flash is significantly lighter than sheet lead, making transport, handling and installation easier. It can be cut using standard tools and shaped by hand to suit complex roof details.

Strong, Reliable Adhesion

The full-surface butyl adhesive creates an immediate bond to many common roofing materials, helping reduce the risk of water tracking beneath the flashing when installed correctly on clean, dry surfaces.

Professional Appearance

Available in a range of colours, Aquarius Aqua Flash blends neatly with modern roofing materials to provide a clean, professional finish without the visible creasing often associated with traditional lead flashing.

Why Aquarius Aqua Flash Saves Labour Costs

Labour is one of the largest costs in any roofing project. Aquarius Aqua Flash is designed to reduce installation time while delivering a reliable, watertight seal.

Faster Installation
The full butyl adhesive backing bonds directly to the roof surface, eliminating many of the steps associated with traditional metal or lead flashing. Installers simply measure, cut, position and firmly press the flashing into place.

Easily Conforms to Roof Profiles
The flexible EPDM construction moulds to corrugated metal, tile and other roof profiles without extensive shaping. This reduces the time spent forming flashing to fit complex roof contours.

Fewer Tools Required
Unlike traditional metal flashing, Aqua Flash does not normally require specialised bending equipment or extensive forming tools. Standard cutting tools and a pressure roller are typically all that is needed.

Reduced Material Waste
The material can be cut accurately to the required length, helping minimise offcuts and unnecessary waste while improving installation efficiency.

Lightweight and Easier to Handle
Aqua Flash is much lighter than traditional sheet lead, making it easier to transport, position and install. This can reduce installer fatigue, particularly on larger roofing projects.

Suitable for Complex Roof Details
Chimneys, skylights, roof penetrations and roof-to-wall junctions can often be flashed more quickly because the material easily follows irregular shapes and contours.

Typical Installation Process

  1. Prepare the surface by ensuring it is clean, dry and free from dust, oils and loose debris.
  2. Measure the required length and cut the flashing using a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors.
  3. Position the flashing and check the fit before removing the release liner.
  4. Gradually peel away the liner while pressing the flashing firmly onto the roof surface.
  5. Mould the flashing to the roof profile by hand, then use a pressure roller to activate the butyl adhesive and ensure full contact.
  6. Check all edges are firmly bonded to create a continuous weatherproof seal.
