Product Information

Whichever type of stain you’re dealing with, make sure you pat the lead flashing dry before moving on to the treatment phase. Patination oil is a white-spirit-based surface treatment which prevents the formation of carbonate on lead surfaces and significantly reduces the risk of staining.

As we mentioned, light white stains tend to appear on newly fitted lead flashing which has not been treated with patination oil for lead (more on what this is later) due to lead carbonate build-up.

But even if for some reason patination oil treatment has been overlooked, it’s not the end of the world. After attaching the parts, start the vacuum cleaner to resume cleaning without blinking blue lights. Provided you’ve followed our storage advice and your lead flashing has been installed professionally, it’s time to ensure its exceptional long-term performance. You can forget about pretty much any type of stain on your lead with a simple application of patination oil for lead flashing on a regular basis. Based on white spirit, patination oil is a highly effective surface treatment which prevents the formation of lead carbonate (PbCO3), a powdery substance which creates nasty white stains on the surface of lead.

The answer to this question really depends on a number of factors regarding the nature of your situation. For example, if your lead flashing is high up on a multiple-storey building and you have little-to-no experience working on roofs or at a height, then it is absolutely best to call in an expert. This product is known as patination oil – it serves as a protective layer or coating on your lead flashing and can be applied either by a professional or yourself. There are multiple versions of it available from different manufacturers. To maintain the enhanced appearance of your lead flashing, simply reapply a coat of patination oil once every couple of years. Besides flashing 5 times, the screen on the vacuum cleaner shows the battery level at 100%. Why is my Dyson flashing blue and not charging?However, if working with older lead flashing, it’s a good idea to apply a second coat. Simply wait for the first one to set and then go over the entire area once more. This should ensure your clean lead flashing stays clean even when faced with harsh weather conditions. Can you paint lead flashing? Areas of a home that can benefit from lead flashing include the aforementioned roof and walls as well as the chimney, sills, drip edges, valleys, pipes, channels, and more. On some homes you may find all of these, while on others fewer cases, but the vast majority of homes will feature some form of flashing, and in most situations this flashing will be lead.
