Need to now more about lead sheet sizes? Click below to download our lead flashing weights chart.
Lead flashings theory weights: all theory weights are subject to ±5% tolerance.
The theory weight of lead sheet in kgs can be calculated using the following formula:
No. of pieces x Length in metres x Width in metres x Thickness in mm x 11.34
Useful conversion factors:
1mm = 0.039 Inches
1m = 3.281 Feet
1m = 39.370 Inches
1 inch = 25.4mm
1 Foot = 304.8mm
1 Yard = 914.4mm |

Weatherproofing
One of the most common usages of lead sheet is as a weatherproofing material in the building industry - due to lead's high resistance to corrosion. Our lead sheet is suitable for all building applications, including flat and pitched roofing, flashings, gutters, parapets and all other lead detail work. What's more, over the years more than 400,000 tonnes of our lead sheet has been used successfully on roofs throughout the UK and worldwide. Some of that material has even been specified in prestigious buildings such as Cardiff Castle, Windsor Castle and the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
For other lead sheet applications, go to our soundproofing, or radiation shielding page(s).
