The hard metals of choice are primarily: Copper, Zinc, Aluminium & Stainless Steel.
Aluminium is lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion. It is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly material as it is completely recyclable. Aluminum roofs can last up to 50 years with minimal maintenance and is good at reflecting heat and UV rays, which can help to keep a building cool and reduce energy costs. Aluminium is also resistant to fire and most weather conditions, which makes it a great option for many different climates and environments.
Copper long-lasting and durable. Copper roofs can last up to 100 years with minimal maintenance and gains a natural patina that forms over time, giving a unique aesthetic to any structure. Copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity making it useful in ..... circumstances. Copper is also resistant to fire, rot, and pests and can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Steel is a popular material for roof construction because it is durable, strong, and lightweight. It is also resistant to fire, rot, and pests, and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Additionally, steel is easy to install and maintain, and can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different building designs. Overall, steel is a cost-effective and low-maintenance material for roof construction.
Zinc is durable, and resistant to corrosion. It is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly material, when zinc reaches the end of its service life, it can be recycled without any loss of quality. Zinc also has a natural patina that forms over it's long life of 70-100 years, which can give a building a unique aesthetic. Zinc is easy to install, flexible, and when alloyed with copper and titanium can create extremely strong structures.
Zinc has been used on the roofs of Paris for 200 years and is much loved. Zinc is found naturally in the environment and is enjoyed in construction for its prestige. Pure zinc is alloyed with copper and titanium to make it harder, stronger and increase resistance. Natural zinc produces a patina over time, with pre-weathered and coated options offering a range of colours.
Copper
Copper is a traditional, natural and premium material. The bright copper surface darkens as it oxidises over time to produce the famous copper green patina. Different alloys and pre-oxidising allows for a range of colours including gold, bronze and brown.
Aluminium
Aluminium is a strong and lightweight option, offering great value. The surface has a naturally bright surface, with bespoke colour coatings allowing for endless design possibilities.
Steel
Steel offers many options. Stainless steel is celebrated for its long lasting durability and develops a natural patina over time. Coated steel enables unlimited creativity with bespoke colour options available, and can be a cost effective option.
