Handling Recommendations
Lead is a natural product which, when exposed to the air, can discolour due to oxidisation. To reduce this effect we recommend the use of Patination Oil, prior to installation.
Gloves should be worn when handling to protect from sharp edges. Hands should be washed thoroughly after contact.
Regular spaced expansion joints should be used to avoid any problems caused by expansion and contraction. Individual flashing pieces should not exceed 1.5m in length.
