The NEXLER Stick self-adhesive flashing felt stands out due to its unique, highly flexible structure, which allows for effortless forming and bending around vertical roof elements, eliminating the need for tedious cutting at every corner or plane transition. It can be applied directly to EPS thermal insulation without the use of open flame, making it ideal for use as a starter strip, in the corners of attics and chimneys, and when detailing round roof penetrations.

NEXLER PJ PYE PV200 S40 flashing felt. The NEXLER PJ PYE PV200 S40 flashing felt meets stringent standards for roofing, vapour barriers, and waterproofing. This makes it an excellent choice as a starting point for your build. It can also be used on foundation footing, which eliminates the need for additional cutting and significantly speeds up construction work. Furthermore, its design specifically addresses challenging installations at roof eaves. Thanks to its narrow rolls, it simplifies roofing work in these intricate areas and ensures precise seams between layers by half width.

NEXLER PREMIUM PYE PV250 S53H flashing felt. The NEXLER PREMIUM PYE PV250 S53H flashing felt is a high-quality, weldable top layer bituminous felt crafted from extremely strong polyester non-woven fabric. This specialised flashing version is designed for use on starting strips in roof renovation systems and for finishing vertical elements. It serves perfectly as the final waterproofing layer on roof ridges, effectively connecting two adjacent roof surfaces. The absence of an edge strip reduces material waste, and its 0.5-meter width simplifies and speeds up finishing work. Thanks to these dimensions, the felt can also be utilized in non-invasive photovoltaic mounting systems and as a protective layer under ballasted photovoltaic installations.

Examples of NEXLER Flashing Felts in Use

• Chimney Insulation: They enable the precise and rapid protection of chimneys, effectively minimising the risk of leaks and extending the overall durability of the roof system.

• Sealing Round Roof Penetrations: For elements like ventilation pipes and other circular roof penetrations that demand a tight and flexible seal, NEXLER felts conform perfectly to irregular shapes.

• Vertical-Horizontal Joints: Addressing the complex challenge of sealing vertical-horizontal joints. The 0.5-metre wide flashing felts accelerate work completion and reduce material waste.

•  Starting Strip for Double-Layer Roofs: In double-layer roof installations where precise layering is crucial NEXLER flashing felts eliminate the need for cutting separate starting strips, saving both time and material.
