biflex Extreme can be used in most applications where lead is traditionally used to provide a weatherproof
traditional lead flashing, making it particularly suitable for installations where aesthetics are important. It has all the features of the current Ubiflex B3 range, being lighter and easier to handle with no scrap value. Significantly quicker to install than lead,
Ubiflex Extreme is fully malleable and is not susceptible to thermal movement. It can be worked in all directions, exactly the same way as lead flashing, but without the need for protective measures – and it can be cut with a sharp knife or snips. This means that aprons up to 5m long can be formed without seams or expansion joints – minimising wastage. Ubiflex Extreme is compatible with most
common building materials and components, such as thermal panels, extract flues, ventilators, rooflights and flat roofing membranes including PVC single ply. It’s stable and will not cause any unsightly staining. Ubbink has also developed ‘Extreme Fix’ as an
integrated part of the Ubiflex Extreme non-lead flashing system. This advanced adhesive allows installation in damp conditions, reducing the potential for delays on site. Ubiflex Extreme and Extreme Fix are available
now, from Roofing and Builders’ Merchants throughout the UK.
