and take great pride in our quality and craftsmanship. All of
our Copper Shingles are an outstanding investment value and backed
by a 50 year warranty.
AN ELEGANT
& VERSATILE DESIGN ELEMENT
Our Copper Shingles are designed to look good on any building
that would look good in shingles. Only better! Their simple, lightly
embossed style works with diverse building types ranging from
historic to contemporary and in settings both rural and urban.
Their surface weathers gracefully and naturally to a green patina
that both protects and adds distinction. Our Copper Shingles lend
permanence and character to any architectural detail on public,
commercial or residential buildings. They look equally at home
on new work and on historic restoration projects.
RELIABLE
WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE
We have engineered outstanding performance into our copper shingles.
Our design is actually a system comprised of two separate pieces
- the visible, solid copper shingle plus a concealed joint pan.
This two-piece system insures complete weather protection. Laboratory
tests demonstrate that our two-piece shingle system provides protection
against wind driven rain at the shingles, not at the underlayment.
Field installations prove that these Shingles will withstand hurricane
force winds and rainfall - 110 mph wind with eight inches of rain
per hour - with no leaks.
GREEN
IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Verdigris, the beautiful patina that naturally protects copper,
is not the only “green” thing about our Copper Shingle
roofs: when this low-orno maintenance roof does wear out, every
ounce of it will be recycled for its high salvage value. Environmentally,
our Copper Shingles exceed expectations by leaving virtually nothing
to take to the landfill. Few building materials put so little
burden on the environment. Few building materials are as green
as our Copper Shingles!
FIRE
RATED PROTECTION
Beyond the luxurious look and low impact on the environment, our
Copper Shingles can protect your building from fire - and save
insurance costs. Forest fire danger has become a very real concern
for property owners in recent years. These shingles meet the requirements
of a Class-A roof covering for new construction. This rating makes
them ideal for fire-prone areas. Year after year, they will stand
up to the harshest forces of man and nature - temperature extremes,
ultraviolet radiation, environmental pollutants - and even fire.
AFFORDABLE
AND EASY TO INSTALL
Everyone who gets to know our shingles, loves our shingles, and
not least because of their low per square foot cost installed.
Because any skilled asphalt shingle roofer can install this roof,
installation cost is a fraction of that of other premium roofing
materials such as slate, wood shingles or tile. They weigh 140
pounds per square, about half the weight of asphalt, so no roof
reinforcement is ever necessary nor any special sheathing or venting.
Each 48” by 9” shingle produces 3 square feet of coverage,
over twice that of asphalt, so the work installs quickly. Since
the shingle relies on separate joint pans rather than on leak
prone vertical side locks, there is no predetermined installation
sequence as with other metal shingles. As a result, installation
may begin at any location along the eave and proceed in either
or both directions. The installers find as much to like about
our shingles as everyone else does. Consider also their longevity,
fire rating and high salvage value and it is clear that our copper
shingles are easily the most cost effective of all roofing materials!
LIFETIME
WARRANTY
Because our Shingles are manufactured from solid copper, not foil
laminate, they will quite possibly last as long as the building
it protects. These shingles have no applied finish; they will
not chip, chalk, dry out, curl, lift, split, break, mold or mildew.
What they will do is resist all the elements for years and look
great. Extremely durable, weather and will require little or no
maintenance. This is a self healing roof, so scuffs and scratches
quickly weather into the field as the patina develops. We warranty
all of our Copper Shingles for 50 years.
