Aluminium Soakers | Aluminium Soaker

Aluminium soakers are essential components in roofing, especially in projects that involve slating and tiling. Their primary role is to provide a waterproofing solution at junctions where the roof meets the walls, chimneys, or other protrusions. They are particularly useful in preventing water ingress at the joints, which is a common point of leakage in many roofs.

Types and Uses

Our Aluminium Soakers category encompasses a variety of sizes to suit different building requirements and architectural designs. All of our soakers are supplied in packs of 25, ensuring that you have a sufficient quantity for both small repairs and larger installations. The thickness of these soakers typically is 0.5mm, which strikes a balance between flexibility for installation and durability for long-term performance.

Size Variations

The product dimensions cater to various roof pitch and overlap specifications:

  • Larger soakers, such as the 14'' x 7'' and 13'' x 7'', are designed for bigger slates or tiles and higher pitches.
  • Medium sizes, like the 12'' x 6'' or the 13'' x 6'', are versatile and can accommodate most standard roofing applications.
  • Smaller options, including the 9'' x 6'', 7'' x 7'', and 6'' x 6'', are perfect for projects that require a more delicate approach or where space is limited.

     

Practical Selection

When selecting the appropriate aluminium soaker for your project, consider the following aspects:

  • Roof Pitch: Ensure the soaker size is adequate for the pitch of the roof to avoid water backflow.
  • Tile or Slate Size: Match the soaker size to the size of the tiles or slates to guarantee a snug fit.
  • Exposure Conditions: In areas with high exposure to rain or wind, larger soakers may provide better protection.

     

Guidance for Selection

To determine the best fit for your project, follow these guidelines:

  • Measure Accurately: Prior to purchasing, measure the dimensions of the tiles or slates, and the pitch of the roof.
  • Consult Building Codes: Some regions have specific requirements for soaker sizes and installation methods.
  • Professional Opinion: When in doubt, seek advice from a roofing professional to ensure optimal selection and installation.
