About us

In 2006, Flashman introduced the first extruded aluminium mechanical flashing system designed to separate the critical junctions between the cladding and aluminium joinery. Our focus was on the troublesome head and base junctions.

Our mechanical flashing systems are a solution to the problematic building practice of relying on sealants and paint to keep the water out.

This led to our involvement in providing solutions for many building owners – ranging from single to fifteen storey buildings and an involvement in technical detailing with most NZ cladding manufacturers.

In 2013, the continuing flaws with existing cladding systems led us to design and develop our own, unmatched, unique and innovative cladding systems.

Both directors – Gerald Evans and Steve Hotton – have extensive backgrounds in building and weathertightness.

Gerald and Steve are hands-on directors who offer technical advice, weathertightness detailing, specific design detailing and peer review details for architects, designers, construction companies, facade engineers and consulting engineers.

As builders, we are proud of our unmatched innovative designs, testing and compliance achievements.

We are also extremely proud of our AS/NZS 4284 testing – achieving 4.500 kPa as a watertight cladding and flashing system on a standard 20mm cavity depth without the use of foams or sealants.

Flashclad has a nationwide distributor network who market, promote and install Flashclad’s systems.

Our distributors are licenced building practitioners and business owners who also have extensive knowledge in building design and weathertightness. Most distributors have small to mid-range building companies, many of which are highly awarded for their work on prestigious and complicated projects.

We consider our distributors the hub and success of Flashclad. Most of our distributors have been dedicated to the Flashclad brand since 2006.

Our systems are installed, and continue to be specified on, residential, architectural re-clads, apartment complexes, rest homes, light commercial, schools, Government projects and high-rise buildings to fifteen storeys.

Flashclad directors and distributors will continue to develop further and push the entire industry to improve beyond current acceptable standards.
