LEAD SHEET
Lead Sheet is one of the oldest forms of metal; this material is
also ideally suited for roofing, flashings and decorative sheet
metalwork due to its excessive malleability and softness. However,
special skill and care is required when working with this material
to ensure that it functions properly.
Lead's resistance to atmospheric pollution and acid rain makes it
ideally suited for the protection of stone cornices, copings,
parapets and other projections. Lead's extreme malleability makes it
ideal material for dressing over complicated shapes and forms.
