Code 3 lead flashing, measuring 1.32mm thick, is generally used for light applications such as a soaker against a chimney wall. This is the lightest code of lead flashing available on the market and is a suitable solution when looking to keep costs down.

Code 4 lead flashing can also be used as a soaker, as well as for other uses, but as it is thicker and heavier than the code 3 alternative, it is naturally more expensive. Code 3 lead flashing uses are almost exclusive to new-build properties, with listed buildings demanding the slightly thicker code 4 lead flashing material.

Easy to Work With

The thin nature of code 3 lead flashing means that it is simple to work with as it can be manipulated to fit even the smallest of space. No more than 1m of code 3 lead flashing should be used at once to allow for thermal moving to prevent cracking. This is a large part of the reason why contractors often wonder whether to opt for lead flashing code 3 or 4.

Code 3 lead flashing prices allow for contractors and project managers to stay within budget by not overcompensating when there isn’t the need for it. Code 3 material is the best option for light application.
