Flashpoint Grey Lead Sealant 310mm tube

Flashpoint is a high-performance, neutral cure silicone sealant specifically designed for pointing work between lead and brick or masonry. Whether you're working on a flashing installation or repair, Flashpoint offers a cleaner, quicker, and more reliable alternative to traditional mortar. Unlike mortar, which can crack or fail over time due to movement, Flashpoint remains flexible and strong, accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of both lead and masonry in response to temperature changes.

Why Choose Flashpoint Over Mortar?

Traditional mortar joints often struggle to keep up with the movement of lead in changing weather conditions. Over time, this can cause cracking and gaps, allowing water to seep through. Flashpoint eliminates this problem by forming a permanent, flexible, and waterproof joint. With a life expectancy of up to 20 years, Flashpoint ensures long-term protection and professional results. It’s easier to work with, bonds quickly, and doesn’t require the same setting or curing conditions as mortar—making it ideal for year-round use.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is Flashpoint better than traditional mortar?

Flashpoint is flexible and durable, meaning it moves with the lead and masonry as temperatures fluctuate. Mortar, by contrast, is rigid and can crack over time, especially when exposed to direct sunlight or frost.

2. Can Flashpoint be used in cold weather?

Yes! One of Flashpoint’s major advantages is its ability to be applied in temperatures as low as -65°C, unlike mortar which contains water and is unsuitable for use in freezing conditions.

3. Will Flashpoint stain the leadwork?

No. Flashpoint uses a neutral cure formula, so it avoids the white staining that acid-cure sealants can cause on lead. This ensures your finish looks clean and professional.
