Stepped EPDM flashing
Replace your lead step flashing with i-Form EPDM step flashing. Step flashing is used at points where a tiled roof meets a wall, protruding vents or a chimney. At one end, the flashing is build horizontally in the masonry; the other end of the flashing is folded under the tiles with a hammer. As lead has a number of downsides, there is a trend to replace lead by more sustainable and cheaper alternatives. One of these alternatives is i-Form. i-Form is a good alternative to lead for various reasons.

Non-toxic;
Lightweight;
