Fixing clips are typically recommended in either 0.6mm gauge copper or 0.4mm stainless steel. Copper clips are the preferred choice when flexibility is needed to accommodate intricate roof profiles. On the other hand, steel clips are best suited for situations where the clip must be anchored firmly at its upper end, such as installations over glass roofs, necessitating increased rigidity.

Premium Annular Ring Shank Nails, also available in copper and stainless steel, come highly recommended by The Lead Sheet Association for securing lead sheet panels, clips, and other roofing elements to a timber substrate.

When it comes to intermediate cladding fixings and attaching materials to stone masonry, the use of brass or stainless steel screws is essential. For intermediate fixings, it’s crucial to ensure that the screws are concealed. Premium Cast Lead Domes offer an ideal solution for this purpose, as they are supplied as sets comprising brass screws, lead buttons, and serrated-edged washers, with the buttons securely crimped over the washers to provide effective coverage.

• Fixing clips are essential to prevent wind lift on the exposed edges of lead sheet.
• For most applications, it is advisable to use either copper or stainless steel fixing clips.
• Cast lead domes are a preferred choice when avoiding lead burning for exposed fixings, suitable for use with both lead sheet and lead-clad steel panels.
• When attaching sheets and clips to timber, copper and stainless steel annular ring shank nails are the recommended fasteners of choice.
