This Code 3 Lead is produced to European Standard, BSEN12588: 1999, which regulates dimensional tolerances, and also governs the amount of permitted inclusions (of copper, tin, antimony, etc.) in the lead. Available in a choice of widths and lengths. In accordance with EN Code Weights, Code 3 is rolled out to 1.32mm thickness to a strict +/- 5% tolerance to give a weight of 15kg per square metre. Code 3 is suitable for lightweight building projects, like soakers, flashing, conservatories roofs, gutters and general repairs etc. As well as it's most common use of weatherproofing, it can also be used for soundproofing and radiation shielding. Features and Benefits * Produced to BSEN12588: 1999 - governs dimensional tolerances to +/- 5% and type/amount of inclusions. * Work to ISO 14001:2004 - Responsibly sourced material, recycle material & dispose of waste responsibly. * 100% Recycled Lead - The manufacturer uses it's own recycling plant to recycle 100% of the lead used. * Extremely Durable - Lead has a life expectancy of well over hundred years - making it a green building material. Exposure to air causes lead to oxidise, changing it's colour and produce white stains. To reduce this effect we recommend the use of patination oil prior to installation.
