Canada Metal provides a variety of materials used in construction. Our sheet lead and bricks are in hospitals across North America and our custom design-build lead-based radiation shielding solutions are keeping patients and professionals safe. We are capable of supplying millions of pounds of standard radiation shielding products for the construction sector, including custom sized bricks.
Also on the market today, our lead flashing and roofing material is a durable weatherproofing material for use in construction and roofing projects. Its inherently malleable and flexible nature makes it easy to use and suitable for a diverse number of roof types. As lead is a non-ferrous and non-reactive metal, it is naturally resistant to corrosion and will not rust. From an aesthetic point of view, its muted, silver -grey finish complements a variety of building materials such as glass, concrete, and brick. These same weather resistant benefits of lead, along with its density, also make it a compact and resilient option for counterweights on heavy construction equipment. Lead because of its density, is also used as the filler in pile driver hammers.
