Copper & Zinc

Copper & Zinc Roofing

Copper Roof Metal Roofing System Properties
This high-end material is highly resistant to corrosion and easily formed into panels. Copper roofs have been known to last for over a century and are a common sight on churches and historic buildings.

Left unfinished, the material will oxidize to the familiar green patina  that protects the underlying metal. In arid areas, the color may be more reddish-purple. Special clear acrylic coatings can be applied that will help copper retain its original color. Runoff from a copper roof can stain building components below if not managed with properly engineered gutters. 


Zinc Metal Roofing System Properties
Zinc roofs are similar to copper in their durability and also similar to copper roofs in their installation procedures. But unlike copper, zinc roofs weather to a bluish-white color rather than green. Zinc has been used in construction for nearly two thousand years and its corrosion-protective features when used on iron and steel has been familiar for about that long. Zinc roofing material, widely used in Europe, is very malleable and can be formed into intricate patterns for metal shingles.
