From its early use in coins and decoration by the ancient Egyptians, lead was first found in construction in Roman times. By the Middle Ages lead sheet was being used extensively as a roofing material and centuries-old examples are still evident today. Churches and castles that enrich our architectural heritage are a wonderful testimony to the performance and longevity of this durable and versatile material. The use of lead in the construction industry is a proven and time honoured tradition. The passing of time continues to enhance its formidable reputation for durability, consistency and value for money performance.
Copper has proved its worth as a truly durable and beautiful weathering material over the centuries. Many of our older buildings are well known for their copper roofs. Glasgow Cathedral for example with its lovely mature green patina, acting as a landmark for miles around. Many others of more recent construction have weatherings of copper which continue to give good maintenance free service. Constant changes of temperature and the deterioration of materials are common causes of failure in roofing, necessitating costly and recurring maintenance.
