What is Copper?
Types of Copper Roofing
While copper roofing looks great on any building and can be molded into any design you want, there aren’t many types of copper-specific roofing, and each one has its own intended purposes.
Continuous
Continuous copper roofing is manufactured and cut precisely for the job. It’s installed without joints, seams, or other breaks. It’s the most expensive option because it involves the most time and effort to manufacture and install to exact specifications.
Copper Panels
Copper panels are cut in standard widths and installed with joints and seams. Sometimes the seams are crimped together, and other times they’re welded together during installation. It is less expensive than continuous copper roofing.
Copper Shingles
Copper shingles are low in cost and can be installed like other shingles. They’re secured with fasteners to prevent a reaction during contact with other metals. They’re elegant, stately, and look great on any home.
Advantages of a Copper Roof
Increased curb appeal
One of the primary benefits of using copper as a roofing material is its curb appeal. Its bright copper color shines brilliantly from afar, making your home stand out. It increases your home’s resale value and assures new buyers that they are getting a sturdy, long-lasting roof.
Durability
Copper is very strong and durable, being able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to its durability, copper roofing will last for fifty years or more with regular professional repairs and maintenance.
Lightweight
Copper roofing is very lightweight, so it minimizes the stress you put on your home’s frame, which is critical during heavy snowfall like we see in Phoenix every winter. The lightweight composition of copper roofing also makes it cheaper to install.
Impervious to mold, rot and fire
Copper has natural anti-microbial qualities that prevent it from growing algae, bacteria, mold, and other fungi. It’s also fire-proof, which is another significant advantage to all types of metal roofing.
Environmentally friendly
One of the most appealing things about metal roofing is its recyclable properties and the fact that it’s replenishable, sustainable, and eco friendly.
