Why Building owners should insist on Flashman?
- The leaky home syndrome has highlighted serious issues with window and door flashings.
- 50% of leaks in leaky homes occur around the window and door cladding junctions.(Dept of Building and Housing)
- Buildings are still being built using the same sealant flashing methods that have failed in the past.
- Sealant has been the main method of flashing around windows since the 1980’s.
- Sealant has failed dismally as an alternative to a full metal flashing system.
- The Flashman system prevents water entering behind the cladding and does not rely on sealant.
- Trade skills have diminished markedly over the last 15 years. Many “Builders” are no longer trained to cut and install flashings correctly or knowledgeably.
- The Licensing of Builders will not solve the problem of poor tradesman ship, only training will.
- The NZ Building Code sets Minimum Standards.
- Flashman ensures Best Practice.
- Best Practice protects everyone especially the owner
- The Flashman Flashing System is a proven universal system.
- Suitable for all cladding types including brick
