What is Copper Roofing?
This type of roofing is an elegant style of covering that consists primarily of copper materials. Copper roofs are resistant to corrosion, protect against lightning, and require little to no maintenance over the course of their existence.
This form of roofing is popular among homeowners because of its architecturally distinguishable style and long-lasting nature. If installed properly by our professionals at Royal York Roofing, a copper roof can last up to 100 years.
What is Sheet Metal?
Sheet metals are any metals that can be made into thin, flat pieces (sheets) for construction, roofing, and building uses. This includes copper, zinc, aluminum, brass, steel, tin, and nickel. Gold, silver, and platinum may also be made into sheets, but they are not generally used for roofing purposes.
Copper Patina and Alloys
Copper material has unique visual properties and characteristics, such as natural oxidation and patina. The term patina refers to material showing signs of aging through weathering, which also gives copper material a protective layer that increases its useful service life. At different stages of weathering, the patina process gives copper a unique look. More often, customers across the GTA, while loving the longevity of copper material, do not like waiting years for the copper to reach a certain patina look they like. On the contrary, other customers would like to preserve the brand-new, shiny copper look for the rest of its service life, or even have a unique, bright golden look that does not fade over time. Royal York Roofing has access to a unique mill and pre-patinated copper finishes to satisfy any design ideas.
The Advantages of Copper Roofs
Roofs made of copper or other sheet metals are energy efficient because they can reflect solar heat. This allows the homeowner to cut back on their heating and cooling costs.
Copper can be recycled, and it is lightweight. Compared to other roofing materials, metal roofing offers a more aesthetic option. It can give your home added value due to its sophisticated appearance, and after long-term exposure, the colour changes into a stylish green patina hue.
Moreover, copper roofing is not susceptible to fire damage and is waterproof, which can come in handy during a typical Ontario snowstorm. Finally, copper and metal roofing do not require much operational support and are appropriate for most roof structures.
Other Copper Applications
Copper and sheet metal can be used to fabricate gutter systems. From eavestroughs and the accompanying soffit and fascia, copper and sheet metal provide a durable system to keep rainwater from destroying the base of your home. Additionally, many homeowners ask us to install copper and sheet metal accents to their houses to add an extra touch of refinement to their already chic homes. From bay windows to parapet flashings to dormer roofs, any home is made classier with copper.
