Do I need patination oil?
The Lead Sheet Association (LSA) recommends that you use patination oil on all lead installations. This helps you prevent white powdery deposits from forming on the lead and reduces the likelihood of water runoff from staining surrounding slates, tiles or brickwork. You are able to add a 125ml patination oil from the dropdown box.
Features and benefits:
- Thickness: 1.80mm.
- Milled lead is easier to work than cast lead.
- Less likely to split or crack than cast lead.
- Life expectancy of over 100 years when installed correctly.
- Fully recyclable (lead has one of the highest recycling rates of all materials in common use today).
- 50-year warranty.
