An Eco-Friendly Option
Instead of absorbing heat, a copper roofing system reflects it, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. The less heat your roof takes up, the more you can save on your heating and cooling costs as your HVAC system doesn’t need to work as hard. Also, copper roofs can be recycled after use, making them ideal for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint.
Cost-Effectiveness
Copper roofing exceeds the durability of popular materials, such as slate and asphalt. With proper installation and maintenance, a copper roof can last for more than 50 years. This roof replacement option is highly resistant to harsh outdoor elements, meaning it’s more unlikely to experience damage due to hail, rainfall and mildew than other materials. It’s also extremely resistant to extreme temperature changes and won’t deteriorate prematurely.
Easy Installation
Since copper roofs are lightweight, they are easy and quick to transport and install. They are remarkably lighter than roofing tiles and only weigh half as much as lead roofs. Because the material is not as heavy, it won’t put as much strain on the structure of your home. Copper is so flexible that it can be easily installed on uneven and irregularly-shaped roofs.
