History and Development
The use of lead has been known since antiquity and lead cladding techniques are as old as this history. The history of Lead Ceiling Coating Hammers has developed in parallel with the history of the use of lead as a construction material. From the Middle Ages onwards, lead was used extensively in the roofs and ceilings of buildings such as churches, cathedrals and palaces in Europe, requiring unique shaping and installation techniques. These special requirements directly influenced the design and development of Lead Ceiling Cladding Hammers.
