Lead is used because it is one of the most durable metals that exists. Lead can expand and contract with varying temperatures, meaning that it can adapt to maintain the efficiency of your installed flashing. It is perfect to use on houses that are open to a variety of elements and different atmospheric temperatures. This means that during an intense summer or cold winter, there will be no need to call a repair man in for cracks or melting.
Lead can be moulded into a variety of shapes to suit different types of flashing design. It can be adapted so that it will fit along the edge of many different types of roof. It will not catch fire, which can be important during an intense lightning storm. It will also not buckle unless it is subjected to very high temperatures that would not be seen in a habitable environment.
Lead is a great barrier against many things. It is resistant to atmospheric corrosion which means it will last longer than other types of flashing. It is also sound resistant, making a home slightly quieter, and radiation resistant, which is important to the structural integrity of a house. It is also a well-recognized form of insulation that, despite flashing position, will prevent heat from leaving your home.
