Raindrops Keep Falling on My Lead
Lead is used widely in the United Kingdom on both modern and historic buildings. It is regarded by architects as a traditional, durable material. Lead roofs are, however, susceptible to failure by condensation corrosion, the incidence of which has increased in recent years. Laboratory studies have investigated the patination of lead when exposed to present-day environments and underside condensation corrosion conditions. Factors influencing the chemical and physical properties of the patinas in both situations are discussed.
