The Benefits of Lead Roofing
One of the oldest materials still used for roof construction, lead is highly sought after due to its combination of durability and malleability. On top of enjoying a fantastic aesthetic, clients from Hassocks to Brighton, Haywards Heath to Burgess Hill, or all the way back over in Lewes or Uckfield, can reap the following benefits when opting for lead roofing:
Flexibility – Lead can be made to fit to any form of roof you can imagine, as it can easily moulded to different shapes. It’ll fit snug, whatever the application – even when covering awkward areas.
A Perfect Seal – Building on the former point, while some rival materials can in some cases struggle to create perfect seal between two surfaces, lead doesn’t suffer this problem. It makes for 100% watertight roofing each and every time.
Lifespan – Did you know that a high quality lead roof, installed by seasoned roofers like those at JRH, can last over three times longer than other materials? This is the reason many old, historically significant buildings around Brighton, Hassocks, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Lewes and Uckfield feature lead roofs.
Resistance to Corrosion – Lead has an intrinsic resistance to corrosion; its resilience also shrugs off a lot of the other harmful effects associated with UV and atmospheric exposure. On top of this, lead adapts to the season, and easily copes with fluctuating temperatures.
Recyclable – In this day and age, it’s more important than ever to be environmentally conscious. Lead roofing helps you be just this, as it’s one of the most recycled materials used the world over. With lead, you can ensure you’re contributing to sustainability efforts.
Metal Roofing Advantages
Considering investing in metal roofing? It’s another fantastic option we make available to our clients throughout the Brighton, Hassocks, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Lewes and Uckfield areas. We typically construct metal roofs out of aluminium and steel, due to their durability, affordability and malleability. The former is more lightweight and rust resistant, while the latter is a more affordable option that’s very sturdy and long lasting.
Benefits of metal roofing include:
- Longevity – When installed by a roofer with experience working with metal, such as JRH Roofing, metal roofs can last for a very long time. They’re naturally resistant to everything from stormy weather, to fire, mildew and rot. Pests also find it incredibly difficult to penetrate such a tough material.
- Weight – While you might think metal roofs would be quite heavy and thus put a lot of stress on a property, compared with the accumulative weight of a tiled roof they are actually very light.
- Installation Method – Due to the fact that sections of metal roofs are pre-fabricated, their installation is quick and easy. It means whatever project you’re working on can move on to the next stage in no time at all.
- Foot Traffic – The aforementioned durability of metal roofs means they can be safely walked on, should this be necessary. Care should be taken following rain or snowfall, however, as they can get slippery.
- Resistances – Metal capably deals with the sun’s radiant heat, especially when combined with an effective insulation system below the outer most layer.
