LEADING UK LEAD FLASHING SUPPLIERS
Because of its malleability and durability, lead is an ideal material to form gutters and gutter linings, ridge and hip rolls, and the full range of standard and specialist lead flashings. These can include ornamental features within the lead flashing. For most lead flashing applications, lead sheet of 1.32, 1.80 or 2.24 mm is used, fixed with copper or stainless steel, and occasionally with lead itself.
To achieve colour co-ordination of lead flashings, acrylic-coated lead sheet can be used for lead flashing. This is available in white, slate grey, terracotta and dark brown colours. The colour-coated 1.80 mm milled lead sheet is produced in widths of 250, 300, 450 and 600 mm. Acrylic-coated lead flashing is moulded by bossing as for standard lead sheet. Where lead flashing is welded the exposed grey metal may be touched up as required.
