Why Choose QACO-FLEX?

Scientists agree that there is no safe level of lead blood concentration. Any level of lead in the body will have an adverse effect on our health. For this reason, any contact with lead should be avoided, but unfortunately, lead still can be found in many old houses, in paint, pipes, and roof flashing. Even in the modern day, many tradespeople are still using lead as their material of choice.

With a move toward safer installation and caring for the environment, non-toxic, lead-free roof flashing alternatives are becoming increasingly popular.
