Key Features and Benefits:

- Durable Copper Material: 12 oz copper offers excellent corrosion resistance, lasting 50+ years in most climates. The natural patina protects the metal from further oxidation, requiring minimal maintenance.
- Strong 30-Gauge Base: The 30-gauge base provides extra rigidity, allowing the shingles to withstand heavy snow loads and high winds. It also helps maintain a flat, uniform appearance.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Copper shingles add a distinctive, upscale look to any architectural style, from traditional to modern. The evolving patina creates a unique character over time.
- Eco-Friendly: Copper is 100% recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for green building projects. Our manufacturing process minimizes waste, and the long lifespan reduces the need for replacement.
- Customizable Options: We offer various sizes, surface finishes (e.g., pre-patinated, mill finish), and base materials (copper or galvanized steel) to match project requirements.
Technical Advantages for Installers and Owners:
- Simple installation: The self-locking seam allows for quick positioning and locking, even on complex roof geometries. No special tools required.
- Low maintenance: Copper naturally resists moss, algae, and fungal growth, reducing cleaning needs. The self-locking seam prevents debris accumulation.
- Fire resistance: Copper is non-combustible, contributing to building fire safety.
- Lightning protection: Copper is an excellent conductor, helping to dissipate lightning strikes safely when properly grounded.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: What is the lifespan of these copper shingles?
A: Copper shingles can last 50–100 years depending on environmental conditions. The 12 oz thickness provides excellent durability, and the self-locking seam reduces wear from wind and rain.
Q2: Are the shingles suitable for coastal areas with high salt exposure?
A: Yes, copper is highly resistant to salt corrosion, making it an ideal choice for coastal environments. The natural patina forms a protective layer that further enhances resistance.
Q3: Can I install these shingles over existing roofing?
A: Recommended for new roofs or complete tear-offs. However, our team can advise on feasibility based on your roof structure and local building codes. Please consult with a professional installer.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes or colors?
A: Yes, we offer custom dimensions and surface finishes, including pre-patinated copper (blue/green patina). Contact us with your specifications for a custom quote.
Q5: What is the weight of each shingle? Will my roof support it?
A: Each shingle weighs approximately 0.9 lbs per square foot. Most standard roof structures can support this weight, but we recommend a structural engineer verify load capacity if needed.
Q6: How do I clean or maintain the copper shingles?
A: Copper requires minimal maintenance. Rain naturally washes away dust. If desired, gentle rinsing with water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the patina.
Q7: Are these shingles fire-rated?
A: Copper is a non-combustible material, contributing to a Class A fire rating for roofing assemblies when installed over a suitable underlayment. Please check local building codes for specific requirements.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ depends on the size and finish. Typically, we accept orders from 500 square feet. For smaller projects, please inquire about availability.
