Lead Cornice

A lead cornice is where sheet lead is used to cover an existing cornice to provide superior protection from the weather and other environmental elements. Traditionally, lead is used on sandstone cornices on buildings such as cathedrals and churches. It is becoming very common to install a lead cornice on existing building to preserve the longevity of the building.
