If you have noticed pools of water accumulating on your roof, or if you are dealing with leaks, you might need to get the roof flashings replaced. When properly fitted and detailed, lead sheet roof flashings will stand the test of time and will protect your roof from the elements. As one of the oldest and most enduring materials, it’s not surprising that lead is a top choice for flashings. Thermal movement, wind lift and weight should be taken into account before you enjoy what this reliable material has to offer.
Easy to Prepare and Install
When you’re planning a home renovation, you will probably want to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. Lead sheet roof flashings can be fitted on all types of roofing, no matter how many awkward lumps and bumps there may be. It’s pliable texture makes it easy to mould to particular shapes, which eliminates the need for it to be cut into shape before being fitted. When more surface area is covered with lead flashings, the roof won’t be susceptible to leaks and other issues.
Long-Lasting
Lead has an unbeatable lifespan when compared to other types of roof flashings. The material’s longevity is a main appeal for roofers, and it appeals to property owners because of its low maintenance. Considerably strong and weatherproof, it can maintain its condition for 10 years or more. Even if lead is faced with destructive weather conditions, such as snow and acid rain, it will not corrode. If the roof on your property is currently fitted with another type of flashing, lead can be fitted on top for added protection.
Low-Maintenance
Most types of roofing will need caring for with regular cleaning and inspections. Failure to examine the roof flashings regularly could result in problems occurring further down the line, meaning you will likely need to spend money on roof replacement or repair. However, with a material like lead you won’t have to worry about maintaining the roof as often. As a corrosion-resistant material, lead is unlikely to degrade, making it a long-lasting solution. Even if the condition does worsen in some way, repairs are usually low-cost and can be completed swiftly, which is another benefit of its malleable texture.
