Talk:Flashing (weatherproofing)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Lead Flashing

We need real information about the regulation, sale, and use of lead flashing around the world. It is sold in Home Depot stores in the US, along with lead fittings. Google "lead flashing" and see that it is obviously readily available in the US and UK. (I did not know how to add footnotes to support this in the article, since they would mostly be commercial links.) In what areas of the world is it restricted or outlawed? Why is such a poisonous building material still being used in bulk anywhere? -69.87.199.25 (talk) 18:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lead contamination

We need real info about rates of lead erosion for exterior lead flashing, and what techniques such as painting are available that have what actual measured impacts on rates of dispersement of the lead into the environment. -69.87.199.38 (talk) 17:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
