Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: 16 oz (22 oz per square foot) high-purity copper (99.9% Cu) – industry standard for premium roofing.

Why choose our pre-oxidized copper shingles for historic restoration?
- Authentic Appearance: The pre-oxidized finish replicates the look of aged copper, essential for matching existing historic roofs or creating a consistent patina across new installations.
- Time Savings: Natural patina formation can take 5–15 years; our finish gives you instant heritage appeal without waiting.

- Customizable: We can adjust dimensions, shape (flat, interlocking, or scalloped), and even patina shade to match your project's specific requirements.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to genuine antique copper, our shingles offer the same look at a fraction of the cost, with modern manufacturing consistency.
- Easy Installation: Lightweight and easy to handle (approx. 1 lb per shingle), compatible with standard copper roofing techniques (soldered seams, clips, or nails).
Applications: Perfect for historic house museums, churches, government buildings, private mansions, and any project requiring a durable, aesthetically accurate copper roof. Our shingles are trusted by restoration architects and contractors across North America, Europe, and other regions.
