OVER-ALL srl has been operating for years in a flexible and cutting-edge manner in highly technological sectors where competence, experience and in-depth technical knowledge are of fundamental importance. The continuous search for new and valid technologies has led OVER-ALL to introduce and promote on the Italian market Leadax, the world's first patented alternative product to lead but with the same properties.
A new generation material, with the same unique characteristics of lead in terms of workability, but easier to use and environmentally friendly.
From walls to chimneys, Leadax is used and processed in exactly the same way as lead - without compromise!
Independent tests have shown that Leadax has the same waterproofing properties as traditional lead and can be applied by hand even in the most extreme weather conditions. It is available in longer rolls and various widths, which means it is quicker to install. Leadax also leaves no stains on the tiles and is guaranteed for 20 years.
It consists of aluminium foam covered on both sides with a layer of modified polyvinyl butyral. The material has a removable protective film on both sides.
Unlike conventional waterproofing materials of this kind, LEADAX contains no heavy metals and is not harmful to health or the environment.
It is mainly composed of PVB. PVB is the foil used in laminated glass (e.g. car windows or safety glass). Leadax is lighter than lead and therefore easier to use.
It is available in strips of longer length, so that larger areas can be sealed with less overlapping, saving material and time.
It is available in lead grey, terracotta, black, copper and other colours on request. The rolls range in height from 15 to 100 cm.
LEADAX can be installed as:
- Waterproofing in the cavity of walls (including ventilated walls).
- In the intersection between the chimney and the roofing membrane.
- At the base of the chimney to provide protection against water infiltration.
- At the base of skylights and dormer windows as a waterproofing layer in the joint between the side walls of the dormer window and the roofing membrane.
- As a watertight connection between an external wall and a roof extension.
- LEADAX can be used as guttering, in roof compluves and as a waterproofing under ridge.
