The Many Benefits of Lead Roof Flashing

Lead flashing is the preferred solution for many roofers and homeowners for a number of reasons.

Lead possesses a number of attributes that make it ideal for use in flashing. It is inherently resistant to corrosion, making it highly durable in exterior settings exposed to the elements. 

Another significant benefit of lead is its malleability. This soft metal can be easily formed into different shapes based on the particular requirements of the roof design.

Lead Bricks for Radiation Shielding

Lead is the material of choice for both gamma radiation and x-ray shielding. In particular, lead bricks, provide an effective solution by providing maximum protection in settings where sheet lead is impractical, due the thickness of lead required. They are used in laboratories and hospitals, as well as for specific applications where lead thicknesses greater than ¾” are required over a large area for partitions and walls. 

 

Research laboratories frequently require lead bricks and/or thick lead sheet to create lead “castles” allowing technicians to work with radioactive materials safely and effectively. Bricks made of lead are as versatile as they are effective.
