The Grey Coloured UPVC Lead Tray is an essential component for those looking to create a seamless and waterproof junction between their roofing structure and a vertical wall, especially when using a Self Supporting End Bar. This accessory is designed to adapt a Self Supporting End Bar into a wall bar, providing an efficient and aesthetically pleasing finish to your roofing project.
Key Features:
1. Material: Made from UPVC, the lead tray is durable, resistant to weathering and UV radiation, ensuring longevity and maintaining its appearance over time.
2. Color: The grey color is versatile, designed to match or complement a wide range of exterior decors and roofing materials.
3. Length: At 4 meters, this lead tray provides ample length for most roofing projects, minimizing the need for joins and ensuring a cleaner, more professional finish.
4. Compatibility: Specifically designed to sit on top of the self-support edge bar, it flushes against the wall, allowing for a seamless transition and integration with lead flashing.
Installation Guidance:
- Positioning: After installing the Self Supporting End Bar at the edge of your roof, position the UPVC Lead Tray on top, ensuring it sits flush against the adjacent wall.
- Securing: Secure the lead tray in place, taking care not to damage the UPVC material. It should sit snugly on the self-support bar, providing a stable base for further waterproofing.
- Lead Flashing: Once the lead tray is in place, lead flashing can be applied over the top. This is a critical step to ensure water is directed away from the wall and down onto the roof, preventing water ingress behind the tray.
- Sealing: Ensure all junctions and overlaps with the lead flashing are well-sealed to prevent water penetration. Using appropriate sealants and ensuring a tight fit will enhance the waterproofing effectiveness of the installation.
The Grey Coloured UPVC Lead Tray is an innovative solution for bridging the gap between roofing systems and adjacent walls, particularly when using self-supporting bars. By following the correct installation procedures, you can achieve a watertight and visually appealing result that protects the integrity of your building structure against water damage.
