Aluminium Soakers

Product Overview

Aluminium Soakers provide a lightweight, durable, and highly effective solution for creating watertight junctions between roof coverings and abutments. Designed for ease of installation and long-term performance, these soakers help direct rainwater away from vulnerable areas of the roof, preventing moisture ingress and improving overall weather protection. Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, they are resistant to corrosion, easy to handle on-site, and offer a modern alternative to traditional lead soakers. Ideal for both new-build and refurbishment roofing projects, aluminium soakers deliver reliable protection without the weight, cost, or environmental concerns associated with other materials. Available in a range of sizes—6x4x2 inch, 6x4x3 inch, 12x4x2 inch, and 13x4x2 inch—this configurable product ensures the right fit for various tile and slate profiles.
