Why Permavent was chosen
Traditional lead was ruled out for the project because of its high cost, lengthy installation time, and concerns about potential theft. The client was particularly drawn to Permaflex and other lead-free alternatives because they have no resale value, effectively deterring theft. Additionally, these alternatives offer a more cost-effective and time-efficient solution, making them an attractive choice for the project.
The contractor was particularly impressed by the product’s fully adhesive and self-welding capabilities, which significantly reduced labour time and eliminated the need for additional adhesives and primers typically required with other products. Permaflex’s malleable yet robust properties make it easy to handle and apply, resulting in a visually appealing lead-look finish. This combination of efficiency and aesthetics makes Permaflex a standout choice for various applications.
