Custom Metal Window Flashings

Our flashings are made from soft lead. This material is chosen for its unique properties: it remains flexible, creeps into new joint configurations as the building moves, and oxidizes to a neutral grey that blends with masonry. It's also highly resistant to corrosion and mold.

Absolutely. Our system is ideal for historic preservation and is specified in the U.S. General Services Administration's Historic Preservation Technical Procedures. It has been used on numerous national landmarks to protect aging and vulnerable masonry joints.

Yes. In addition to our stock Type A (flat) and Type B (90° cove) profiles, we create custom and large-size caps. We work with architects to supply solutions for oversized joints, non-standard restoration details, and unique architect-specified conditions.

The soft lead cap covers the sealant, shielding it from UV degradation and weather. Its low elastic modulus allows it to flex and move with the building, preventing the sealant from tearing or checking. This ensures a continuous, long-lasting waterproof seal in the window or masonry joint.

Yes, our lead flashings can be painted to match any adjacent materials for a seamless finish. If left unpainted, the surface will naturally oxidize to a neutral grey color that blends in well with most stone and masonry, preserving the building's aesthetic integrity.

We maintain a full manufacturing and supply chain. Most orders for our stock items are shipped in 6-foot lengths within 48 hours of placement. For custom orders, lead times will vary, so please contact us with your specific project requirements for an accurate estimate.
