Find out moreBy Calder, this Roofing Lead Flashing is available in a roll, measuring 850mm wide by 6m long. At 2.65mm thickness and weighing approx. 30.05/m², it adorns the roofs of churches, offices, factories, and public buildings. Specifically, this Code 6 lead can be used for flashings, flat roofing, parapet and tapered valley gutters, pitched roofs, vertical cladding, dormers, bay roofs and canopies. When it's time to dispose of this lead flashing, it can be salvaged repeatedly, as it is 100% recyclable as a natural metal material.
The lead flashing is ideal for preventing rainwater from penetrating the property, with the addition of being easy to work with, has excellent shaping capabilities, is exceptionally durable, and features a distinctive grey patina. The patina is crucial, protecting your property from varying weather conditions, including heavy rain, where water is at risk of entering. Moreover, by adhering to good installation practices, your lead sheet can outperform other building materials-an assertion supported by a comprehensive 50-year warranty.
With sustainability at its core since the mid-'90s, lead flashing has taken the UK by storm. Over one million tonnes have since graced roofs, showcasing their natural appeal and eco-friendliness. This is particularly crucial given the Earth's crust contains an estimated 290 million tonnes of the material for long-term use.
Please note:
Question:
Would code 6 be the best to use in a dome shaped roof that gets extreme weather in Scottish winters?
Answer:
While the Lead Code 6 - 850mm x 6m Roofing Lead Flashing Roll can be used on a dome-shaped roof, it might not be the best choice for areas with harsh weather conditions such as in Scotland. Due to the movement that can occur with temperature changes on a curved roof, a thicker lead like Code 7 or Code 8 is usually recommended to prevent fatigue and cracking over time. You may wish to consider these alternatives for a more durable and long-lasting solution.
