The Properties of Copper & Copper Roofing Features

Copper roofing boasts many important qualities. Firstly, when installed properly, copper roofs last a lifetime, as they are resistant to corrosion and fire, and are extremely durable. Durability is reason for the use of copper roofing against extreme weather and industrial conditions. Secondly, copper roofing is lightweight, and doesn’t require much supporting structures, which saves you valuable roof space. Thirdly, copper roofs minimize roof movement due to thermal change, which prevents deterioration and failure. Additionally, copper roofing does not require any decoration, cleaning or maintenance, because of the protective patina developed over time, which heavily reduces your expenses. And finally, the copper roof is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.
