• Expandable edge stretches to form and fit
• Flashes between dissimilar materials
• Handles vibration and expansion
• Allows movement on box gutter laps
• Paint to match any roof colour

• Always install Dekstrip® rib-side down
  The raised ribs running along the edges are designed to hold the sealant in place.
• Avoid folds wherever possible
  Ease the flashing into position so that it lies as flat as possible agains the profile
• Avoid sharp edges and use hands to form
  Never use metal or wooden tools to form Dekstrip® - stretch and push into position with hands only. Look out for sharp edges that may puncture the flashing.

 

 

* Please note, other than all four corners sealnt is NOT required.
* Ezi-seal is purchased separately the the Dekstrip®.

If Dekstrip® will not stretch sufficiently to cover a tall profile on a roof sheet or a standing seam, cut the rib or seam back as shown and seal the opening against water. Apply construction grade sealant, appropriate to material surface.

1. Measure length
2. Junction gap should be no more than 180mm
3. Stretch by correct amount to suit profile on both sides
4. When satisfied with the shape and fit and there are no stress lines, seal with silicone and screw/rivet in the valley/pan of the profile.
5. Always apply construction grade sealant, appropriate for the material surface.

 

FLASHING DISSIMILAR MATERIALS

Dekstrip® is compatible with most materials and can successfully flash between:

Brick Fibre Cement Galvanised Steel Aluminium Stainless Steel Concrete

• Always refer to fastener manufacturer's instructions regarding the installation into dissimilar materials.
• Always contact the manufacturer of the roof material to ensure dissimilar materials are compatible and for recommendations on thermal expansion and contraction characteristics.

PAINTING Dekstrip®

ONLY PAINT AFTER INSTALLATION.
Allow product to weather before painting. On returning to the installation, wash Dekstrip® with a soft-bristle brush and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry surface and prepare using a cloth and mild solvent. Apply an epoxy resin based primer as a basecoat, allow to dry and paint using a good quality 100% acrylic gloss paint.
