- Uniform Appearance: Factory-controlled process ensures color consistency across all shingles, even on large projects.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates on-site chemical treatments and reduces labor for painting or sealing.
- Environmentally Friendly: Copper is 100% recyclable; our patination process uses non-toxic solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: How long does the pre-patinated finish last?
A: The factory-applied patina is designed to be permanent and will not fade or wash off under normal weather conditions. It will continue to evolve subtly over decades, but the initial color remains stable. -
Q: Can I install these shingles on a roof with a low slope?
A: Yes, copper shingles can be installed on slopes as low as 3:12, but we recommend a minimum of 4:12 for optimal water runoff. For low-slope applications, proper underlayment and flashing details are required. -

A: Absolutely. Copper is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion, making it an excellent choice for seaside historic buildings. -

A: Our MOQ is typically 1000 pieces, but we can accommodate smaller orders for restoration projects. Please contact us for specific requirements. -
Q: Do you provide samples?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (shipping cost may apply) so you can evaluate the color, thickness, and quality before placing a bulk order. -
Q: How are the shingles packaged for export?
A: Each shingle is interleaved with protective paper, packed in sturdy bundles, then placed in export-grade plywood crates or pallets to prevent damage during transit. -
Q: Can I get custom patina colors?
A: Yes, we offer a range of patina shades including light green, dark green, blue-green, and even custom colors. Additional lead time may apply. -
