What is lead flashing?

Lead flashing is a piece of milled lead that sits between joints to create a durable and weathertight seal. Lead flashing has been used for hundreds of years in situations such as where a roof meets a wall, on a roof valley, around other penetrations such as chimneys, pipes, and around window and door openings.

Lead is the most common material used for flashings, due to its durability, flexibility, and non-corrodible properties. By opting for the milled lead as your flashing material, it will easily be moulded around any complex shapes or structures whilst retaining its strength and durability.
