Lead roofing, and sand cast lead in particular, is ideal for old buildings such as churches or historical renovations, whereas milled lead roofing is a mass produced alternative, used for precision and accuracy in homes and commercial buildings alike.
Alternatively, machine cast lead offers a very similar finish to milled and can be more cost effective.
Benefits of Lead Roofs Lead has a long lifespan, is flexible, durable and corrosion-free. It is also highly effective as a sealant. Not only that, but it is recyclable and is considered one of the greenest building materials with a very low carbon footprint. There are various different types of lead roofing, such as milled, sand cast, and machine cast, making it highly versatile and suited to different buildings.
