LEAD ROOFS

Should any type of structural work be required, our crew has all the needed carpentry experience to handle it. Lead sheeting has a code number that represents the sheet’s thickness and weight. Code 7 sheeting, for instance, are big lead sheets which are for an older roof. This code can be located on listed structures. This number designates that the lead’s weight is seven pounds a square foot. Our skilled team has the know-how to assist you in deciding on the right sheeting code that applies to your roof.

Lead sheet may be utilised to cover the whole roof, as well as used to beef up parts of it like gutters or roof joints. Codes 4 and 5 are lighter weight and are utilised for flashing that goes around those sections.
