Colour coated lead

Coated lead sheets use advanced UV stable polymer coating technology to deliver permanent colour matching that eliminates oxidation discolouration for the lifetime of your project.

Product details

A quality lead sheet with a tailored, weather and UV-resistant paint coating, Calder’s colour coated lead sheet comes in colours such as brick red, brown, or grey (even bi-colour rolls) and provides a consistent, eye-catching appearance right away without the streaking or oiling that bare lead needs.
