Lead sheet has been used in construction for hundreds of years, as evidenced by its use in historical buildings.
Today it is used extensively throughout Europe thanks to its particular properties.
Lead is an impermeable material due to its density, and because of its chemical characteristics, it is resistant to atmospheric corrosion, which assures its durability.
Regarding installation, lead is highly malleable, and it adapts easily to the surface where it is installed, thus providing perfect leak-tightness. It is easy to work, cut and mould using common tools.
Its most common applications are the following:
- Covering roofs.
- As a roofing accessory.
- Coating exteriors and floors.
Additionally, other properties of lead make it especially suitable to be applied as:
- A protector against radiation.
- A protector against noise.
