The World's Greenest Building Material

Lead is one of the oldest and most durable building materials and continues to perform in buildings that are over 500 years old.

All of BLM’s Rolled Lead Sheet has had at least one previous life.

Why Is Lead So Green?

Reclamation uses little energy and as a result there is an efficient recovery network in the UK that ensures over 95% of Lead is recycled.

Compared with its short-lived substitutes and their significant effect on global warming both in production and disposal, specifying Rolled Lead Sheet is the environmentally friendly option.

Don’t take our word for it

Studies by European research and development institutes show that synthetic materials developed as a potential alternative to lead have significant impacts on global warming during manufacture - and as we all know, climate change is one of the biggest threats to the world's environment. Detailed scientific papers are fully available to substantiate these claims.
