Wakaflex
1 product
Wakaflex is the modern, lead-free alternative to traditional flashing that has taken the Australian industry by storm. At Vincent Buda and Company, we supply this innovative self-adhesive flashing because it is safer, lighter, and faster to install than lead. Wakaflex features an aluminium mesh reinforced PIB (Polyisobutylene) body that can be shaped easily by hand, and its self-adhesive backing ensures a permanent, watertight bond to almost any surface—including tiles, metal, and masonry. It is non-toxic and won't leach chemicals, making it the choice for homes with rainwater tanks. Since 1957, we’ve updated our range to include the best new technologies, and Wakaflex is a trade favourite. Every roll is available for same-day or next-day delivery.
