Ubiflex Lead Free Flashing
Ubiflex is a lead-free flashing that offers an excellent alternative to the use of traditional lead flashing, as it can be used in many of the same ways you would use lead, providing a weatherproof junction. However, Ubiflex is a much better option to roofers and homeowners alike, as it is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic material that is 100% recyclable. This lead-alternative is a much easier and quicker material to install, when compared to traditional lead.
