- Malleability: Lead can be easily shaped and molded to fit complex roof structures and architectural details, providing a seamless and attractive finish.
- Waterproofing: Lead's natural properties make it an excellent waterproofing material, preventing leaks and water damage to your building's structure.
- Low maintenance: Once installed, lead roofing requires minimal maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.
