Lead sheet has been popular for hundreds of years because it is such a practical and stylish solution. That isn’t about to change. Architects and designers prize lead for its elegant looks. Even non-lead alternatives are frequently made to resemble lead.

When pre-treated with patination oil, lead will retain its looks over decades – even in the harshest of weather conditions.

have you considered using a lead alternative?

Leadax is the first lead substitute in the world that looks like lead, dresses like lead & is as malleable & pliable as lead. Leadax has the same unique properties as Lead & Zinc, without having to compromise on quality, flexibility or price. Leadax is applied in exactly the same way as Lead & is equivalent to code 5.

Leadax is extremely durable and has the same natural look as traditional sheet lead, however, it leaves no staining on roof tiles or masonry. The life expectancy is at least 20 years.

Leadax is available in longer strips. So you can seal larger areas with less overlap, saving you materials and time.

The circular material is recycled PVB. PVB is the foil that is used in laminated glass (e.g. car windows or safety glass).

Leadax comes in lead grey as standard. However the product is also available in black, roof tile red and different colours are available, such as copper.

Leadax has been certified by BBA & KIWA
