Those are just a few of the perks that come with copper roofing. Here are a few more reasons why copper roofing is definitely worth it.
Durability
Copper is one of the most durable roofing materials that you can have installed onto your home. When properly installed, a roof made from copper can resist all sorts of extreme weather, including tropical storms, gale-force winds, hailstorms, ice storms and even tornadoes. The metal is naturally resistant to corrosion and can withstand high humidity levels. The panels can also resist shearing and uplifting winds during a severe storm.
Low Maintenance
Copper roofing does not rust. It does not need to be painted or sealed like a wooden roof does. Unlike asphalt shingles that continuously lose some granules during rainstorms, no particles will fall off of the copper sheets. Algae and moss will not grow on a copper roof, so you will not have to try to remove unsightly growths or stains on the roof’s surface. The smoothness of the copper means that any tree debris will slide right off rather than getting stuck on rough surfaces.

Customized Roofing Solutions
Copper is a highly malleable metal. If you would like the shape of your roof to have any curves, copper is the material of choice. Roofers such as those at Roland’s Roofing may be able to form the copper roofing panels to create domes, turrets and other types of curves with a greater level of ease and success than can be achieved with other roofing materials.

Sustainable
Up to 75% of a copper roof is made from recycled materials. At the end of a copper roof’s 50 year or longer lifespan, it can be recycled again. While an asphalt shingle roof would need to be replaced after about 20 years, the copper panels last for 50 to 100 years. This means that less waste enters the landfill. No environmentally harmful chemicals, sealants or finishes need to be applied to a copper roofing system.

Installing a new copper roof adds value to your home. If you are considering selling your home, the copper rooftop will be an advantage when compared with similar homes that just have an asphalt shingle roof. Your copper roofing system may be the last roof that your home ever needs.
