The Rubbertech Roofroll Slate Lead Replacement is an ideal solution for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-performance alternative to traditional lead flashing. It provides the aesthetic appeal of a slate finish with the structural durability of EPDM rubber and an internal aluminum mesh, making it perfect for sealing chimneys, abutments, and roof junctions. While it offers superior ease of installation and long-term weather resistance, users should ensure the surface is clean and dry to achieve the maximum bond strength required for a watertight seal.

Yes, it is suitable for most common roof types, including slate, tile, and various flat roofing configurations.
No, it can be cut with standard utility shears and shaped by hand, though a dressing tool can help achieve a tighter finish.
No, it is made of high-quality EPDM rubber with an aluminum mesh core, making it a safer, non-toxic alternative to lead.
The product is designed to provide over 40 years of service life when installed correctly.
No, it comes with a slate-colored finish that is UV-stable and requires no painting or protective coating.
The aluminum core and EPDM rubber are highly resistant to corrosion and are suitable for use in coastal or harsh industrial environments.
Ensure the aluminum mesh core is fully engaged by pressing more firmly; verify you are not using an excessive length that creates too much leverage.
Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove all dust, grease, and moisture; ensure the temperature is within recommended limits for installation.
Re-press the edges using a roller or dressing tool to ensure full contact; verify the overlap is sufficient to prevent wind uplift.
This product is virtually maintenance-free. Periodically inspect the flashing after extreme weather events to ensure that no edges have lifted and that the seals remain intact. Clean only with water if necessary; do not use harsh solvents or aggressive chemical cleaners that could degrade the EPDM material.
