When Lead flashings are installed, they are secured in place into the chase of the brickwork or masonry. The traditional method for fixing flashings is to use Lead wedges, although this method can result in a loose fixing, which is why you should consider using Hall Clips.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Patination Oil<\/strong>\u00a0should be used on Lead roofing, flashings and cladding to give a uniform, attractive appearance where the Lead is visible. It is also necessary when water flowing from the Lead Sheet surface may come into contact with other visible building materials.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quickslates<\/strong>\u00a0are used where flue pipes and soil stacks penetrate slate, tile, felt and asphalt covered roofs. Quickslates are also suitable for gas flues, withstanding temperatures of 150\u00b0C. Available to suit flat roofs with vertical outlets and 30\u00ba &#8211; 40\u00ba pitched roofs. Quickslates suit most pipe diameters up to 125mm.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>T-Pren Expansion Joints<\/strong>\u00a0A large number of buildings in the UK contain Lead-lined parapet or box gutters. The correct design for a Lead-lined gutter incorporates drips and falls or \u201csteps\u201d. However, in many buildings the gutter design may prevent the use of the correct drip detail or the necessary restructuring of the gutter, potentially leading to the over-sizing of the Lead bays that make up the gutter lining. Ecobat Lead T-Pren provides a quick and cost-effective solution to this problem where its use as an expansion joint allows the Lead to be laid along the slope of the gutter.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wood Roll<\/strong>\u00a0is used to provide an aesthetically pleasing expansion joint between two separate sheets of Lead. Clever design of wood roll joints can provide an exceptional focal point for a building. Wood Roll is often used when installing Lead-lined gutters, Lead cladding, flat and pitched roofing applications. Lead Sheets are formed around the wood roll in a cloak design to provide a watertight joint without restricting their movement. Wood Roll is also used at hip and ridge intersections.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Building Paper<\/strong>\u00a0To protect the underside of Lead Sheet from corrosive attack from certain substrates, the Lead should be isolated from the substrate using Grade A1F Building Paper. Ecobat Grade A1F Building Paper is a traditional, reinforced bitumen-bonded building paper laminate, manufactured with wet-strength Kraft paper, meeting the technical requirements of BS 1521 Class A.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aluminium Soakers<\/strong>\u00a0are used at the abutment of a pitched roof and an existing wall and are available\u00a0in a range\u00a0of sizes to suit slate and plain tile roofs. Soakers are inserted between successive slate or tile courses and protected by a cover flashing to make a waterproof joint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PRODUCT APPLICATIONSBritish Lead sheet is used across a wide range of construction and specialist applications.
