Weather Protection

 
   
Lead sheet has a long established reputation as a quality roofing and waterproofing material.

Thanks to its malleability, it is commonly used for flashings, weathering and window hoods on roofs.  It can be easily dressed to fit multi-curved contours and can be formed on site into the shapes needed to provide architectural flexibility.  Considered one of the most durable metals, it provides resistance to corrosion in the harshest of atmospheres.  Its soft, silvery grey finish makes it color compatible with concrete, brick and glass.

Lead membranes and pans provide an impermeable moisture barrier which will last as long as the most permanent building.  As a lining for pools, plant boxes, fountains, shower stalls and shower rooms, commercial and institutional kitchen floors, sheet lead provides waterproofing of the highest quality.
