Roof made of copper

Copper is a rather soft metal that is easy to cut and bend into the shape you need. Copper for the roof can be changed for any form. Copper sheets are most often used when creating complex roof shapes. Thanks to the unique method of installing roofing sheets, they form a completely hermetic coating. You can choose the shape of the roof that will like it more: tent, multi -sized or dome. One of the pluses of such a roof is that the temperature cannot affect the deformation of the coating. It also does not lose plasticity at subgal temperatures, so its integrity remains. Although the roof with copper is one of the best, but there were no drawbacks. True, they are not so serious, but still do not neglect them. The first drawback is color. The gray-green color is not suitable for any facade. Accordingly, this type of roof is suitable for houses in a classic style. Mostly to the analogues of ancient estates or medieval castles. But, unfortunately, on modern architectural creations, a copper roof is unlikely to look appropriate. The second drawback is the high chemical activity of copper. Copper is covered with electrochemical corrosion in an aggressive environment. The aggressive environment includes air contaminated with chemical waste or, vice versa, clean sea air. Corrosion can develop faster when copper contact with other materials such as: iron, aluminum alloys. For this reason, the time of operation of the copper roof is significantly reduced. The method of laying the copper roof is quite complicated. Particles of copper roof are connected using fakes. A special pattern (stripes, scales or rhombus) depends on the location of the folder seams. There is one more technology for laying a copper roof. It is carried out with the help of the Klyimers of the peculiar locks, which connect the elements of the roof. The main plus is the lack of through fasteners. Since ancient times, people have used copper as roofing material. Then, as now, not everyone can afford such a luxury. Basically, one could find this type of roof on cathedrals and palaces. Copper has a fairly high cost, but at the same time it will last you for a long time. The price of copper roof is comparable to ceramic tiles. But the roof with ceramic tiles is inferior to copper in terms of service life.
