Midland Lead Code 6 Roofing Lead Flashing

Midland Lead Code 6 Roofing Lead Flashing is a robust, heavy-duty cast lead sheet designed for high load and exposed roofing applications. Manufactured to BBA approved standards and produced using responsibly sourced recycled lead, it provides exceptional strength, reliability, and long-term weatherproofing performance.

With a thickness of 2.65mm, Code 6 lead flashing is suited to demanding projects where maximum durability is required. Typical uses include flat and pitched roofing, vertical cladding, hip and ridge flashings, parapet gutters, box and tapered valley gutters, bay tops, canopies, apron and cover flashings, and chimney flashings. Despite its increased thickness, lead remains fully workable, allowing accurate forming around complex roof details, while its natural weight helps resist movement and lifting in exposed or windy environments.

Naturally corrosion resistant and capable of delivering a service life well beyond 100 years when correctly installed, Midland Lead Code 6 is widely trusted for long-term roofing protection. To minimise the risk of white staining caused by oxidation and to improve the finished appearance, patination oil should be applied during installation. This helps create a controlled surface finish while adding a subtle, even sheen to the lead over time.

Fully recyclable and manufactured using recycled materials, Code 6 flashing is also a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice for heavy-duty roofing applications.

What Is Machine Cast Lead?

Machine cast lead is produced by passing a rotating, water cooled drum through a bath of molten lead. As the drum turns, a consistent sheet of lead forms on its surface before naturally peeling away at the top.

The lead sheet is then wound into large spools and cut into rolls of specific sizes. This controlled manufacturing process ensures uniform thickness, reliable quality, and excellent performance for roofing and weatherproofing applications.
