Over 25 years ago Wakaflex was launched. At least 60 million metres of Wakaflex have been installed on roofs all over the world, that’s enough to wrap around the equator one and a half times. Today unlike many of its competitors it is sold worldwide, including Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia and the US market.

Designed to ensure a solution that is weather resistant and extremely waterproof. Its versatility and the fact that we manufacture Wakaflex in our own plants are key to its success. Today, Wakaflex is still rigorously tested to ensure it remains the best on the market. All else is simply poor imitation.
