Alto
Lead is a high performance low cost aluminium flashing
suitable for use as an alternative to traditional lead in both flat
and pitched roof applications.
Alto Lead is produced from sheet aluminium with a protective polyurethane
coating on top and a polyisobutylene adhesive on the underside.
Finished with a dimpled profile this unique construction ensures
that Alto Lead is waterproof,
durable and extremely malleable. The polyisobutylene adhesive ensures
a strong permanent bond to all building materials without the need
for a primer unless a surface is extremely unstable and forming
a watertight joint requires no additional tape or sealant.
Alto Lead
is extremely safe to use due to it’s light-weight construction
and cutting and shaping is achieved with a knife or scissors that
produce no sharp edges. Consequently installation is rapid and safe
with no health and safety issues.
Alto Lead
has a 15 year guarantee with a life expectancy in excess of 20 years.
Alto Lead does
not look like traditional lead and has no re-sale or scrap value,
ensuring that theft and vandalism are eliminated.
Installation : |
| Alto Lead
can be installed and worked in any direction using a mallet,
roller or by hand. Cutting is achieved with scissors or knife.
Before fixing Alto
Lead to any building material surface the protective
paper should be left in place until the final shape and position
is determined. The surface should also be clean and dry to achieve
permanent adhesion. |
If the building material surface is unstable then a bituminous
primer should be applied.
Alto Lead
should be dressed into the brickwork and sealed and any jointing
detail should have a minimum overlap of 100 mm.
