Sweeping statement

Copper may grace the domes of renaissance cathedrals, but it's a material that's also well suited to contemporary homes as many architects and designers are proving.

And copper is no longer just a roofing product. Copper Roofing Company, a specialist supplier and installer of metal products, says copper is increasingly used as an innovative cladding material. Copper doors and chimney cowlings, available from Copper Roofing Company, are other ways this metal can provide a decorative accent.

Marketing manager Rachael Hall says copper makes a strong visual statement and works in partnership with other construction materials.

"Its appeal is also in the fact that it is long-lasting, non-corrosive and maintenance-free," she says.

Copper Roofing Company also fabricates zinc, pre-painted steel, and aluminium roofing and cladding. These materials are increasingly seen on contemporary and streamlined minimalist homes.

The range of roofing options from Copper Roofing Company includes Variable Tray, Standing Seam and custom profiles. Other copper accessories include rainwater heads, custom-made gutters, entrance and garage doors and parapet flashings.
