Decra FormFlash Technical Data & Installation

 

FormFlash lead replacement flashings are manufactured from SEBS modified bitumen on a malleable aluminium mesh finished with a fine grey granular finish on the outer face and a polyethylene film on the inner face.

Installation

FormFlash is installed and worked in a similar way to traditional lead flashing.
When installed in exposed conditions FormFlash should be mechanically fix with appropriate fasteners.

FormFlash can be worked in the same way as lead, without the need for protective measures, except for wearing gloves to protect from cuts, and:

  • Can be cut with a sharp knife or tin snips;
  • Can be secured using FormFlash fixing clips;
  • Is compatible with other building materials.

Compatibility

We recommend the use of FormFlash Sealant for pointing. Icopal FormFlash and associated products are compatible with most materials normally associated with building works.

However solvent based products and timber preservatives containing solvent may soften bitumen and other products and special care should be taken when selecting materials likely to come into contact with FormFlash.
If in doubt regarding compatability contact Icopal Technical Services.
