For time consuming, intricate flashing abutment work, Klober’s Easy-form® has a ‘creped’ facing and flexible butylon backing which enable it to stretch by up to 60%. Traditional foil based flashings have a limited service life and even lead can crack in time, but Easy-form becomes watertight straight away and, unlike traditional bitumen backings, the butylon retains its flexibility to accommodate temperature induced expansion and contraction. It is a fraction of lead’s weight and available in convenient 5 metre rolls and four colours to match most commonly used tiles and slates. Jobs can be completed in around half the time of traditional lead detailing, with none of the attendant health and safety risks. Easy-form is completely safe for use with water harvesting systems and, by virtue of its colour range, is ideal for use around solar panelling systems. Stretchable coloured flashing from Klober
Klober MD David Arendell commented, “Once in place, Easy-form’s UV-resistant facing will perform in temperature extremes unlikely to be seen in the U.K. - from -40°C to +100°C. Using simple tools, it can be installed to blend seamlessly with the roofline, and no specialist skills are required. Lead poses obvious health problems and is even banned for roofing use in some European countries”.
