Lead, Tin, Copper, Aluminum, Zinc, Nickel, and Iron are the most commonly used in construction. Lead was used in paint. Tin was used for roofing. Copper is what most piping is made out of. Aluminum is used for siding on buildings. Zinc is a coating used on handles or door frames. Nickel is the main ingredient of stainless steel. Lastly, Iron is used as a main fire proofer. It is non renewable because we can't make more from it, but it is very recyclable and can be used over and over without altering its properties. metal
