Lead welding and bossing are specialist techniques used in roofing, particularly when working with lead sheets. Lead is often used in roofing due to its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for areas like valleys, flashing, and parapets.
- Lead Welding: Lead welding involves joining two or more pieces of lead by heating them to form a strong, watertight bond. This technique is commonly used in roofing to create seamless joints in lead sheets that prevent water from seeping into the roof structure.
- Lead Bossing: Lead bossing is the process of shaping lead sheets by hand to fit around roofing details such as corners, chimneys, or curves. This technique allows for precise, tailored fits without cutting or creating unnecessary joints, ensuring a smooth, watertight finish.
Both techniques are crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and longevity of lead roofing components, providing a durable solution that can last for decades with proper maintenance.
