LSA Pocket guide for installers of Rolled Lead Sheet

Why Rolled Lead Sheet?

Accurately predicting the performance of a roofing material initially depends on the quality of the material concerned.

Rolled lead sheet is the only lead sheet produced to a British and European Standard, BS EN 12588: 2006.

Under this standard, the thickness consistency of the sheet must not exceed a tolerance of +/– 5% at any one point.

It is this consistency which means the performance of rolled lead sheet can be predicted with confidence to ensure optimum performance when specified and fitted correctly in any given application.

The recommendations and technical advice provided by the Lead Sheet Association are based solely on the performance of rolled lead sheet to BS EN 12588: 2006.

The Lead Sheet Association is the foremost independent technical authority on the design, specification and application of lead sheet in the construction industry providing advice for Architects, Surveyors, and Contractor.

The technical information provided in this official pocket guide is extracted from Rolled Lead Sheet – The Complete Manual
