| Leadwork Roofing |
 |
Lead is invaluable as weather protection for many traditional buildings. Even when not used as a roof covering, it can be used to create gutters or flashing, or to bridge junctions between walls and roofs.
Before cast iron became common, lead was also the main material for rainwater pipes and cisterns.
Lead roofs and gutters can be made by laying sheets of the metal onto timber boards. Jointing allows the sheets to integrate, producing a weatherproof surface. |
