Lead roofing is highly resistant to damage from corrosion and as a material is highly malleable meaning it can be shaped to meet the contours of your pitched roof.
Lead roofing is one of the most durable of roofing materials.
Lead roofing is often the choice for commercial and domestic roofing projects ranging from porches, turrets and entire roof coverings to roof waterproofing finishing touches such as valleys, guttering, and flashings.
Lead roofing is also one of the most easily recycled materials in the world and is sourced predominantly from recycled sources than mined. Maiva will source its lead from recycled sources as a matter of principle unless stated otherwise. So lead roofing is a good choice for the environmentally conscious amongst you.
This type of roofing can sometimes appears pricier vs alternative roofing options. However, if you factor in how sustainable lead is as a building material, coupled with its longevity and how good it looks youโre faced with a fantastic option for your roof.
Milled lead
Roofing projects that have strict high standards may insist on the use of lead manufactured to BS EN 12588, the British Standard on lead and lead alloys. Milled lead is the only lead produced to the British Standard, owing to the precision in the manufacturing process. Maiva has been involved in numerous projects where milled lead is used and can certainly vouch for the quality and consistency of milled lead as a roofing material.
Why Choose Us
Milled lead (which is also known in the roofing trade as rolled lead) is made in an automated systemised process. This process means Milled lead is produced to a consistent size, quality and overall spec.
When lead roofing is made the manufacturing process makes each lead slab due to constantly passing them between hydraulics. The production process forms a sheet with consistent thickness throughout. The benefits of manufacturing ensure that each roll of lead is of a similar thickness along the entire length of the roll. Lead is a high-quality roof material.
