Product Introduction:
Flashing is a thin, impermeable material installed to prevent water from infiltrating buildings at joints or as part of a weather-resistant barrier system. In modern construction, flashing primarily aims to reduce water ingress around openings such as chimneys, ventilation ducts, walls, windows, and doors, thereby enhancing the durability of buildings and reducing indoor mold issues.
Flexible flashing materials are easy to cut and shape manually, and they feature self-adhesive properties that eliminate the need for welding, simplifying installation compared to metal flashing. They offer strong adhesion, effectively protecting against rain, snow, and dust.
The design of flexible flashing materials is evolving, with reinforcing mesh extending to the edges to facilitate easier shaping. These materials typically consist of a flexible polyisobutylene layer with embedded reinforcing mesh, allowing for manual folding and securing into place.
