Lead flat Roofing

Lead roofing on a flat roof uses possibly the most long-lasting of roofing covers – Lead. Lead roofing a flat roof like a pitched roof utilises the qualities of lead such as resistance to elemental corrosion is highly malleable to be moulded flat roof. For those who are sold on the lead already and have a flat roof, it may be a case of needing to repair what you’ve got or re-roof your flat roof – whatever your requirement we’ve got your covered.

Flat roof lead covering is extremely environmentally friendly as the lead is typically recycled as a material instead of going out to mine it. Maiva always tries to get the lead it uses from these responsible methods such as reclaimed or recycled as doing the right thing by the environment is one of our core principles. Lead therefore for roofing projects is great for those amongst us who have an environmental agenda.

Flat roofs using lead have a reputation that it costs more money compared to other options. The thing to bear in mind is the potential higher cost of lead, the fact that it’s recycled vs the fact that lead lasts a long time. All things considered, lead we believe is a strong choice.

Milled lead or Rolled lead as it’s also known on a flat roof is made in a process when manufactured that ensures they’re high quality and pressed in a set method. This way of producing lead makes it a consistent size, specification etc and is something we recommend for flat roof projects.

Flat lead roofing is created on a slab by slab output basis that is consistently run through hydraulics to form a consistent lead sheet with constant, consistend depth for your flat lead roof. Lead also boasts the benefit of it being a high quality roof material that is going to last a long time on your flat roof.

A testament to why lead is a strong option for flat roof projects is for development work that dictates only the highest standards of materials is that they enforce only the use of lead manufactured to a standard of the British Standards number: BS EN 12588 Flat roofing with Milled lead is the only lead manufactured to this British Standard, because of the precise process to produce it.
