Copper Roofs:
Copper roofs, which have adorned the tops of buildings all over the world for centuries, have a long list of advantages. They are durable and lightweight, and you may have a weakness for that striking green patina that sets in after a few years. They stand tall against high winds and are even fire-resistant. Moreover, they can be measured to fit exactly over the roof, eliminating time-consuming and potentially wasteful cutting and trimming onsite.
Copper Roof Installation:
Often, a copper roof will outlast the structure it covers, and that roof is often purchased by salvage companies who will re-sell it to homebuilders or individuals. As with most roofing materials, the installation of a copper roof requires a certain degree of skill and training. Roof installers like copper, though, because it weighs much less than asphalt when in shingle form.
Over time, untreated copper gutters will acquire a patina, slowly turning Brown to greenish. The use of copper gutters is ancient, with evidence of copper roofing and gutters dating back thousands of years, and copper continues to be a very popular material for gutters.
Coppers Chimney Caps:
Nothing compares to a Copper Chimney Cap! Copper Chimney Caps become weathered, they take on a unique, "antiqued" appearance that further enhances their beauty. If, however, you would rather keep the beautiful glow of new copper, our Protective Coating, provides the perfect solution.
the chimney cap is solid copper.

Most soffit vents are made of plastic or aluminum. Using a copper soffit vent can increase the value of your home by appearance. There are many different styles of copepr soffit vents including round, rectangular, and square ventilation grids. They are usually pre-manufactured in a variety of sizes from 3" to 8" round, and up to 9" x 9" square.
If a standard copper soffit vent doesn't fit your application another option is to use a custom made copper foundation vent. These vents can be made in a variety of sizes by any metal shop. They can be made with different mounting styles, however if you are using it as a soffit you would probably want a surface mount type of application which would include a frame around the vent.
If you can use the standard sizes that are available then these vents can be an inexpensive and great way to improve the asthetics of your home.
