Dakaflash – Reinforced Lead‑Free Flashing Tape

Dakaflash is a robust, lead-free flashing designed for permanent, weatherproof sealing around roof penetrations, abutments, valleys and edges. It combines a coloured creped aluminium surface with a mesh-reinforced butyl adhesive backing to provide both strength and flexibility without the drawbacks of traditional lead flashings.

Variants & Sizes

Dakaflash is available in two main widths and three colours:

Width	Length per Roll	Colours
300 mm	5 m	Black, Lead Grey, Terracotta
450 mm	5 m	Black, Lead Grey, Terracotta

Each roll delivers consistent, reliable coverage suitable for medium- and large-scale flashing requirements.

Technical Performance

Reinforced backing includes internal aluminium mesh for added rigidity compared to standard butyl tapes
Stretch capability: Dakaflash stretches up to 30% in length, allowing it to conform elegantly around curves, ridges, bullnose edges and verandas
Safe and compliant: Fully self-adhesive, non-toxic, and lead-free—safer for roofers and rainwater harvesting systems.
Weather resistance: Designed to withstand UV exposure and perform reliably in all mainstream roofing environments.

Key Benefits

Lead-free alternative: Offers lead-like performance without health or environmental concerns.
Labour-saving installation: Self-adhesive system installs quickly and cleanly in full-length strips—no mastics, heat, or curing time required
High tensile strength: Internal mesh prevents distortion and supports precise profiling during installation.
Smooth photo-finish appearance: Creped aluminium film ensures a professional, low-gloss finish that blends with roofing surfaces.

Applications

Dakaflash is ideal for:

Chimney and wall abutment flashings
Step flashings on tiled or metal roofs
Valleys, verandas, skylights, downpipe collars and more
New builds, extensions, and maintenance applications

Its 30% elongation makes it particularly suited to challenging profiles and curved surfaces where traditional sheet flashings can struggle.
