Typical Uses – Code 3 150mm Roofing Lead
Code 3 lead is best used for lightweight, supported details rather than exposed flat areas. This 150mm x 6m roll is commonly specified for:
- Tile and slate soakers to abutments and chimneys
- Step flashings where the lead is fully supported and covered by tiles or slates
- Dormer side soakers and small vertical transitions beneath higher-code flashings
- Conservatory and lean-to flashings where Code 3 is used as a soaker layer
- Repairs in conservation areas where lightweight, discreet detailing is required
Note: Code 3 should not be used as an exposed flat roof covering. For gutters, valleys, trays and other high-exposure areas, step up to Code 4, 5 or 6 in line with BS 6915 and LSTA guidance.
