Copperised Lead Sheet/Flashing – Vespol

Vespol’s Copperised Lead Sheet/Flashing is a premium weatherproofing material used for roof and wall penetrations, flashing, and waterproof detailing. Combining the flexibility of lead with a copper-coated finish, it offers enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and an attractive appearance that weathers naturally over time.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from high-grade lead with a bonded copper finish
• Excellent malleability – easily shaped to suit complex roof contours and junctions
• Long-lasting weather resistance, including in coastal and industrial environments
• Copper coating provides additional corrosion protection and reduced staining
• Compatible with brick, concrete, tile, and metal roofing materials
• UV-resistant and unaffected by extreme temperatures
• Aesthetically blends into roofing for a natural, aged patina over time

Typical Applications:

• Roof flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and dormers
• Step flashing at wall-roof junctions
• Parapet and valley flashings
• Damp-proofing and cavity trays in masonry construction
• General waterproofing in both residential and commercial buildings
• Important: Australian Standard AS 2904-1986 ("Damp-Proof Courses and Flashings") recommends 20kg/m2 lead sheet for all exposed lead flashing. This gauge is necessary for flashings exposed to direct sunlight in a northerly or westerly aspect. However, in concealed locations, lighter 15kg/m2 sheet is often suitable.

Available Sizes:

• Supplied in various widths and roll lengths to suit project requirements
• Custom sizes available on request for specialised applications

Installation Tip:
Use compatible fixings and sealants to prevent galvanic corrosion. When installing, dress the flashing to follow surface contours, ensuring secure overlaps and proper drainage to prevent water ingress.
