ALM Code 3 Milled Lead Roll - 180mm / 7 inch x 3m / 6m

ALM Code 3 Milled Lead Roll - 180mm / 7 inch x 3m / 6m is a lightweight milled lead sheet commonly used for window flashings, tile and slate soakers, and smaller pitched roof weathering details.

Code 3 lead is thinner and easier to dress than heavier lead codes, making it suitable for narrow flashing details and soaker work where a flexible, weather-resistant lead sheet is required. At 180mm wide, this roll is useful when a slightly wider option than 150mm is needed for small leadwork details.

Things to consider before buying

• For heavier-duty flashings, chimneys, valleys, gutters, flat roofing or parapet work, a higher code such as Code 4 or Code 5 may be more suitable.
• Check that 180mm / 7 inch is the correct width for your flashing or soaker detail.
• Lead sheet should be installed in accordance with recognised leadwork guidance, including correct laps, fixings and allowance for thermal movement.
• Patination oil is usually recommended after installation to help reduce staining.
