One of the easiest ways to protect your home from the elements is to use this type of leadwork to provide protective flashing on the roof. Here are some of the benefits of doing this.
Preventive
Roofing experts all agree that preventive maintenance is one of the easiest ways to save money. If large repairs due to neglect are not needed, then there will never be a need to pay for them. All roofs eventually need to be repaired at some point in their lives and the main reason this is true is because of exposure to the elements.
Leaking
After a roof experiences damage from external sources, it may not be as waterproof as it once was. This can be disastrous because once moisture gets into the roof, it can be susceptible to all sorts of problems such as mold and wood rot. This can severely compromise the structural integrity of the entire home, not just the roof.
Attractive
Even though you may not initially think of lead as being attractive, it can actually ass a handsome finish to your home, thus giving the entire house a bit of a makeover. It is both functional and fashionable at the same time.
Durability
When lead flashing is installed on your roof, the durability is greatly increased. Not only is lead resistant to corrosion, but it also acts as an insulator against heat and sound escaping from your home.
