More sustainable than lead
Easy SA is a completely circular product made from recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB)
Leadax has won several awards for its innovative lead replacement
Easy FA is just 1.65 mm thick, creating a tape-like structure
Leadax Flashing FA has a fully self-adhesive surface area, which ensure fast application
The butyl is adhered on the PVB in such a way that it can be easily removed again at the end of Leadax Easy’s life cycle, without making any concessions to the adhesive strength during and after application. This feature means that Leadax Easy is completely removable, recyclable and therefore circular!
Various aging tests have shown that the butyl adheres well to the PVB in order to remain wind and water resistant under various weather conditions for at least 30 years. Optimal adhesive strength is guaranteed on all dust-free surfaces, so it can be applied with confidence.
Lead grey is a great color when you're a fan of using lead, but also realize there are lead replacements around which will make your job easier. When we designed Leadax Flashing, we wanted to make sure you don't have to compromise on aesthetics. The result is Leadax Flashing: a lead replacement with the look-and-feel of traditional lead.

Leadax Flashing in black is a great lead alternative to lead, but offers some major benefits, not just aesthetically.

Imagine sitting outside your patio in Ibiza, drinking a sweet Mojito and enjoying the late afternoon summer sun. You lift your sunglasses to take a look at the pool and you're contemplating if it's a good idea to go for a swim. It's getting late already, but since it's so warm it might be nice to do so, after which you'll take a shower and get ready for the evening.
But then, all the sudden, something catches your eye and your jaw drops to the floor. You can't believe what you're seeing. You're shivering, you're getting cold, although it's still so warm. For a moment you're thinking about calling your partner to discuss the monstrosity in front of you: Your beautiful, dimly lit white patio has a lead grey waterproofing product. Eww..
From now on, you don't have to worry about this anymore. Leadax Flashing is also available in white.
Did you know? The word terracotta has its origins in Italy and literally means "baked earth". The clay has been used for many, many years. The oldest terracotta pottery known to date was created in 24.000 BC. However, its most famous use has to be the China's Terracotta Army: a terracotta collection of 8.000 soldiers and 520 horses, which belonged to the First Emperor of China, in the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum (246 to 208 BCE). Only much later in 1974 it was discovered by local Chinese farmers.
Next to that, the beautiful red/orange color is also being used on houses. It's good to know Leadax Flashing is available in this great color as well.
It's not real copper. But it sure looks like copper. It's great.
