The Recyclability of Lead
Lead roofs and flashing have added prestige to buildings for centuries and still adds a touch of first class roofing that no modern material can.
Why choose Lead as a roofing product?
Cost effective: Lead is more cost effective over a long period than any other man-made material.
Longevity: Lead has proven to last over 100 years. No man-made product comes close to this life-span.
Lead is 100% recyclable time after time after time – and it never deteriorates, no matter how many times it is recycled, retaining all the natural qualities that attract architects and designers to it in the first place.
Recycling lead uses less energy than the original smelting process that created it - a low melting point during the recycling process delivers impressive energy efficiencies making reclamation cost effective as well as environmentally desirable.
Environmentally friendly. Independent studies have shown that lead causes less damage to the environment than its modern day man-made alternatives.
It’s aesthetically-pleasing and surprisingly beautiful without being too bold, making it an under rated, yet graceful choice for any property.
It’s Recyclability. In an age where sustainability is of extreme importance, the recyclable nature of lead is a significant asset.
It’s perfect for flat roofs and flashing.
