Benefits of copper roofing:
Cost Effective: The performance, maintenance, general lifespan and recycling recovery costs are factors that determine the cost-benefit ratio of the building components.

Copper is such a stunning and durable roofing material that having a copper roof can really increase your home’s curb appeal and resale value. Additionally, Copper roofs are also incredibly energy efficient because they reflect light away from the roof instead of allowing heat into the building, reducing heating and cooling costs

Over time a copper roof also forms a protective patina that self-regenerates when damaged. This protective film works as a barrier or shield helping it withstand all forms of natural abuse, from high winds to torrential rain, contributing this way for its exceptional lifespan.
Light weight: Copper roofing is incredibly lightweight, which means that it doesn’t put a lot of stress on the building’s structural elements. This feature is especially helpful for aged structures.
Low maintenance: A Copper roof requires little to no cleaning or maintenance. It is particularly suitable for areas that are too difficult or dangerous to access after its installation.
