Copper is undoubtedly of the oldest metal roofing materials used in early human architecture. Copper roofs combine exceptional style with unsurpassed quality, durability, and longevity. When it comes to copper, you can choose to install a full copper roof or opt to add copper accents including turrets, chimney caps, or awnings over bay windows. Copper roofs have recently grown in popularity among homeowners who are looking for a permanent roofing material that will increase the curb appeal and real estate value of their property. Although the color of copper is a distinct bright orange/brown, over the years it progresses through numerous hues of brown and gray. Over time, copper roofing eventually develops a striking blue-green patina. Sheet copper is available in many varieties: textures , coatings, and colors – even pre-patinated. This can achieve the desired patina for the copper roof immediately. Copper roof materials come in panels, each custom bent on-site.

ADVANTAGES

OF COPPER ROOFING PANELS

Unsurpassed durability

Copper is the only roofing material that improves with age. It has the ability to withstand elemental abuse from high winds to torrential downpours. As copper ages, a protective film is built that works as a barrier.

Cost-Effective

Copper roofing systems have an extremely long life span which makes them cost-effective. Where roof materials such as wood or shingles have a life-span of approximately 25-years, copper can last centuries.

Environmental Friendly

Copper roofs will outlast virtually every other roof material, but once the structure is retired, copper from the roof, flashing, and gutters can be reclaimed and recycled (highest recycling rate of any engineering metal). Similarly, many of the copper roofing sheets and shingles are made from recycled and repurposed material, rather than new material that is extracted and processed.

Mold and Rot Resistant

Copper and copper alloys have natural antimicrobial qualities that resist fungus and bacteria growth. Copper roofing is naturally mold and rot-free – rainwater will simply wash away any surface dirt and biological contaminants.

Copper Advantages

OUR CUSTOM COPPER PROJECTS

Bay Window Roofing: Custom Copper Bay Window Custom fabrication of copper roofing on bay windows can be installed to match any existing shape.  Bay windows can be framed with an inward or outward curve, this can cause a challenge for a contractor lacking the copper roof expertise required.  Most metal roofing material is simply too rigid to install on a curved roof surface – unlike copper – which is a soft metal.

Dormers can be functional by adding to the living space below or simply a visual part of the home’s exterior design.  It is common for a contractor to use different roofing materials to accent dormers.  Custom copper roof panels help the dormers stand out from the remainder of the roof.  Copper is the perfect metal choice for roofing with a timeless look that will provide peace of mind for a lifetime.

Small roofs that are built over doorways, garage doors, porches and entrances to the home or building are commonly built as an accent feature.   A roofing contractor would recommend using a metal material to provide a clean look to the overall appearance of the roof section.  Copper roofing is the best possible choice for a durable long lasting roof.

Cupola Roofing:

A cupola by itself is a unique addition to any roof.  Commonly found at the top of a barn roof or country estate.  Cupolas can come with different attachments called weather vanes.  Weather vanes attach to the roof cap of the cupola.  They can come with almost any design you can imagine attached to the roof.  The most common seen are a bird, horse, Compass directional letters, and roosters.  Copper roofing is the best custom choice to install on a cupola because it gives the contractor an easy material to work with that can be flexible to any scenario.
