The Rubbertech ROOFROLL SLATE is a premium flashing solution designed for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts who need a durable, lightweight alternative to traditional lead. It provides a reliable waterproof seal for complex roofing areas like chimneys and abutments while maintaining an aesthetic slate finish; however, users should note that while it mimics lead in appearance and flexibility, it is a synthetic EPDM-based product that requires specific adhesive or mechanical fixing methods for long-term securement.

Yes, ROOFROLL SLATE is chemically inert and safe for use on roofs where rainwater is collected for garden use or irrigation.
You will need a pair of heavy-duty snips, a retractable utility knife, and a soft dressing tool or roller.
It offers an expected service life of over 40 years, which is competitive with traditional lead when installed correctly.
No, the surface must be clean and dry to ensure a proper bond, especially if using adhesive sealants.
It is primarily designed for pitched roof junctions, but it can be used for detailing on flat roof upstands.
Ensure the surface is dry and free of oil or dirt. Use an EPDM-compatible adhesive if mechanical fixings are insufficient.
Warm the material slightly if working in very cold temperatures, or use a wider dressing tool to spread the pressure across the mesh core.
Check that the top edge is correctly tucked into the mortar joint or secured with a cover flashing or sealant to prevent water ingress.
Installation of ROOFROLL SLATE is straightforward but requires attention to surface preparation. Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, debris, or oily residues before application.
