< Go Back The Benefits of Lead Roofing for Churches Posted: Dec 9, 2020Churches and other traditional buildings have been using lead roofing for centuries. Sand-cast lead, in particular, is perfect for older buildings that require a reliable roofing method. Based in Norwich, our specialist team at Premier Lead Roofing understand the importance of feeling secure in the quality of your roof. Especially with older buildings, it is essential that the property is protected effectively and for as long as possible.
Churches, chapels, and cathedrals require specialist care and high-quality repairs to protect the important historical and cultural significance that they hold and represent. Lead roofing is a fantastic option for these traditional buildings for a variety of reasons but there are two that really stand out.
Longevity These buildings have already been around for hundreds of years so keeping them going for even longer can be challenging.
The properties of lead mean that the material more durable than many of the other roofing options. As an extremely resilient material, it is also highly resistant to any type of corrosion and is weatherproof in all kinds of weather.
Due to the longevity of the material, it is a worthwhile investment. Lasting a long time makes it cost-effective for any budget, especially for a building that often requires work doing in other areas regularly.
Adaptability As mentioned before, lead is weatherproof. This is because it has flexible properties that not only make it extremely useful for manipulating into a variety of shapes, but it also contracts and expands without cracking. This means that no matter how cold or hot the weather is, the lead roofing will adapt without damaging.
The flexibility of the material also makes it a great sealant to protect a church or other traditional property from our wet weather. Where there might be gaps from two surfaces joining, lead can fill up the space and keep the water from damaging materials that are less resistant.
