Sheet Lead

     

"The World's Largest Lead Rolling Mill" is currently located in MAYCO's Birmingham location. Mayco
invested in this piece of equipment to meet the growing demand from it's own internal fabrication needs, It's Industrial customer needs for lead sheet, and it's own requirements for Mayco's growing Architectural lead shielding product applications !"

MAYCO's lead sheet is ideal for building, industrial, waterproofing, and various shielding requirements including x-ray radiation & nuclear shielding. We roll our own lead sheet. Our capacity is the Nation's largest, including the largest lead rolling mill in the world. Our rolled sheet lead is incorporated into our lead lined Gypsum Board and drywall products as well as our roofing products. We sell our sheet to numerous fabricators for their own applications. This page includes detailed specifications for lead sheet composition, dimensions and other important properties. Obviously, Mayco has the product knowledge and the manufacturing capability to match your needs with the right thickness and composition of lead sheet for your product or project.
