Midland Lead Code 7 Roofing Lead Flashing

Midland Lead Code 7 Roofing Lead Flashing is a heavy gauge cast lead sheet developed for demanding roofing and weatherproofing applications where strength and longevity are critical. Manufactured to BBA approved standards and produced using responsibly sourced recycled lead, it delivers outstanding durability and long-term performance on exposed roof details.

With a thickness of 3.15mm, Code 7 lead flashing is designed for heavy duty use on both flat and pitched roofs. Typical applications include vertical cladding, parapet gutters, box and tapered valley gutters, bay tops, canopies, and other areas subject to higher stress or prolonged exposure to the elements. Despite its increased thickness, lead remains fully malleable, allowing precise forming around complex roof junctions, while its natural weight helps resist movement or lifting in high wind conditions.

Naturally resistant to corrosion and capable of achieving a service life well beyond 100 years when correctly installed, Midland Lead Code 7 is a trusted choice for long-term roof protection. To reduce the risk of white staining caused by oxidation and to enhance the finished appearance, patination oil should be applied during installation. This helps control surface oxidation and provides a more consistent, subtle sheen over time.

Fully recyclable and manufactured using recycled lead, Code 7 flashing is also a sustainable and environmentally responsible solution 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, dependable quality, and excellent performance for roofing and weatherproofing applications.
