Lead Flashing
1 product
When it comes to complex weatherproofing, nothing beats the flexibility and longevity of Lead Flashing. At Vincent Buda and Company, we provide traditional lead rolls that are the preferred choice for sealing junctions between roofs and walls, chimneys, and skylights. Lead is uniquely malleable, allowing it to be "dressed" or beaten into complex shapes on-site for a perfectly watertight finish that modern plastics can't match. It is naturally heavy, meaning it won't blow up in high winds, and it has a service life that often exceeds the building itself. Since 1957, we have been the primary supplier for heritage restorers and high-end builders who value the performance of traditional materials. Every roll is in stock and ready for same day or next day delivery.
Four Primary Applications for Lead Flashing:
Chimney Aprons: Providing a permanent watertight seal around chimney stacks.
Roof to Wall Junctions: Managing water where a tiled or metal roof meets a masonry wall.
Skylight Surrounds: The ultimate material for sealing around roof windows and vents.
Heritage Restorations: Maintaining the historical accuracy and durability of older buildings.
Why choose our Lead Flashing?
