Copper Roofing: Timeless Appeal and Durability

Copper roofing is one of the most attractive and long-lasting options available. It’s suitable for both commercial and residential applications, whether used as a full roof or as a design accent.

Advantages of Copper Roofing 

Copper roofs have been favored for centuries due to their aesthetic and durability. They can last over 100 years, making the higher installation cost worthwhile in the long run.

Elegant Weathering

New copper shines like a penny, but over time, it develops a patina that shifts through reds, yellows, and browns, sometimes reaching a green patina depending on the climate.

Versatile and Lightweight

Copper suits various architectural styles and complements most building materials. It’s lightweight, reducing stress on your home, and is also energy-efficient, helping with heating and cooling costs.

Cons of copper roofing 

Higher Upfront Cost: While expensive initially, copper’s long lifespan balances its value over time.

Changing Appearance: Some may not prefer copper’s natural color change, which isn’t always uniform.

Expert Installation Required: Skilled installers are needed to handle copper’s expansion and contraction properly.
