Long traditions
Copper, among the earliest metals used by humans, is one of our oldest building materials, known for its exceptional longevity, proven over centuries.
Realising designs in copper
Modern architects have embraced copper to cover entire surfaces, enhancing the form of buildings and maintaining material continuity.
Natural beauty
Copper is a beautiful, durable, and timeless material known for its unique properties and performance benefits. Available in various shades and finishes.
Long life-time
Copper is a beautiful, durable, and timeless material with unique properties and performance benefits. Some copper roofs have lasted around 350 years, showcasing its remarkable longevity.
Formability
Copper can be easily shaped mechanically or by hand, either on-site or in the workshop, to fit virtually any three-dimensional form, including complex curves and details.
AE oxidisation and patination
When exposed to the elements, copper undergoes a natural process influenced by local environmental conditions, as well as the orientation and inclination of the surface.
Essential for all life
Copper is a naturally occurring element found in the environment. It is present in the Earth's crust, oceans, lakes, and rivers, ranging from minute trace elements to rich mine deposits.
Environmental aspect
Today, approximately 50% of Europe’s copper demand is fulfilled by recycled material. It is estimated that at least 65% of all copper ever mined is still in use or available for use today, having been recycled repeatedly.
Recycled raw material
All of our architectural copper products are made from 100% recycled raw materials. Copper's ability to be recycled repeatedly without any loss in performance is a significant sustainable benefit.
