A minimum of code 4 lead should be used for lead flashings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can install different types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/product-category\/chimney-flashings\/\">chimney flashing<\/a> such as front aprons, side flashings, back gutters, cover flashings and ridge abutment saddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chimney DPC Tray (Damp proof course)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DPC tray is used to stop water that has already penetrated through soaking into the brickwork below. Our DPC chimney tray is coated with bitumen paint on the upper surface to help protect the lead from possible corrosion caused by cement in direct contact with its surface. It is fitted during the construction of the chimney and acts as a barrier to water seeping through the brickwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/product-category\/chimney-flashings\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1.jpg\" alt=\"chimney dpc tray\" class=\"wp-image-24488\" style=\"width:553px;height:415px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1-64x48.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.leadworx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DPC-Chimney-Tray-800x600-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chimney Front Apron<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A front apron is designed to form a water proof bridge between the sides, front and back of the chimney.
