Lead Alternative
The value of lead has increased significantly in recent years leading to a rise in lead theft, notably from church roofs and other vulnerable buildings. This, coupled with concerns about the environmental impact of using lead, has created a need for a viable alternative.
Preseal offers such an alternative – its colour, self-adhesive properties, durability and green credentials making it a workable alternative to lead flashing for roofing and industrial construction. And, due to its lead-like appearance, Preaseal is suitable for use on listed buildings, churches and other heritage structures.
Why choose Preseal as a lead alternative?
1. Quicker and lighter
Preseal is lighter than lead, making it easier to handle in awkward locations such as roof tops. It requires minimal preparation and no welding, so is quick and easy to fit.
2. Greener
Preseal is completely non-toxic and there are no potential hazards for the installer. It's environmentally friendly with a considerably lower carbon footprint than lead, and no contamination of run-off water once it's installed.
3. Longer lasting
Preseal is resistant to the distortion and stress caused to lead by temperature changes and carries a guaranteed life expectancy of more than 50 years.
4. The practical alternative
Preseal can be used for valleys, gutters, linings, gulleys and dormers and is available in 20 metre lengths and various widths ranging from 100mm to 1700mm. Preseal has no re-sale value, so is not susceptible to theft.
