Copper is a beautiful, distinctive roofing material, and the truth is, it doesn't come cheaply. So how do you know copper roofing is the right choice for your project? Read on, friends! If you want any or all of the following, you should certainly find out more about copper roofing:
1. A distinctive roof material that will make your home or building stand above the mundane.
Copper roofs make a statement, no matter what the profile. From copper shingles on a bay window to traditional panels to beautiful tiles, a copper roof, by its very nature, just stands out.
2. A roof that will last generations at least - and hundreds of years in most environments.
No other roofing material stands the test of time like copper. One look at centuries-old cathedrals in Europe proves it. If you want a roof that will only get better with age, you have to consider copper.
3. A roof that despite being solid and special is actually one of the lighter materials that can be used as roofing material!
Weight is one of the big considerations when it comes to roofing, and the lighter, the better, as long as you aren't sacrificing rigidity and durability. Copper is both lightweight and extremely durable. Consider again those copper-topped European cathedrals!
4. A roof that is environmentally extremely friendly - copper is extremely recyclable and is rarely dumped in a trash heap.
Because copper is inherently valuable, the odds of it ending up in a landfill are extremely low. Even if you chose to remove your copper roof - and why would you? - it could be recycled, not dumped.
5. A roof that is among the most beautiful architectural finishes known.
While beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, it's difficult to deny the beauty and prestige of a copper roof. It's the ultimate blend of elegance and distinction with performance and longevity.
