At \u003cstrong\u003eVincent Buda and Company\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003esame day or next day delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"two-box\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"collection-box\"\u003e\n        \u003ch4 class=\"points-heading\"\u003eFour Primary Applications for Lead Flashing:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChimney Aprons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Providing a permanent watertight seal around chimney stacks.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoof to Wall Junctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Managing water where a tiled or metal roof meets a masonry wall.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkylight Surrounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ultimate material for sealing around roof windows and vents.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeritage Restorations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintaining the historical accuracy and durability of older buildings.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"collection-box\"\u003e\n        \u003ch4 class=\"points-heading\"\u003eWhy choose our Lead Flashing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnmatched Longevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A material that can last over 100 years in Australian conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Flexible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be shaped by hand to fit any architectural curve or junction.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUV Stable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Won't degrade or crack under the intense Australian sun.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"collection-items\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"check-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship orders out the \u003cstrong\u003esame day or the next day\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep your job moving.\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lead-flashing","title":"Lead Roof Flashing \u0026 Sheeting Rolls","description":"\u003cp\u003eStock 15kg (15kgs per metre squared) - 3 metre Rolls:\u003cbr\u003e230mm, 300mm, 350mm, 450mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock 20kg (20kgs per metre squared) - 3 metre Rolls:\u003cbr\u003e230mm, 300mm, 350mm, 450mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Order ONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e15kg (15kgs per metre squared) - 3 metre Rolls: 600mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20kg (20kgs per metre squared) - 3 metre Rolls: 600mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this is a delicate product, returns and exchanges are not accepted for change of mind. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead sheet is an ideal material for roof flashing.
