There are many choices when it comes to roofing your home. If you want something different than the traditional asphalt shingles or metal roof, you might be interested in learning more about Copper Roofing in Putnam County. Below you’ll learn the benefits of this type of roofing material for your home.
- Since copper is light in weight, your structure doesn’t have to be reinforced to support a copper roof. The copper sheets are easy to handle and the roof is as simple to install as an asphalt shingled roof. Each copper sheet will weigh up to 20 ounces and measure 2 to 3 feet wide.
- Copper is a very durable material and it can last from 75 to 100 years when used as a roofing material. There’s practically no maintenance involved and you won’t ever have to paint it or use any finishing solutions.
- A copper roof has safety benefits as well because it can’t be damaged by hail, it’s resistant to fire and mold will not grow on it. When snow lands on your copper roof, it easily slides off the shingles and does not pile up and add weight to your roof.
- Many homeowners choose a copper roof because of its appearance. After being exposed to the elements and due to natural aging, your copper colored roof will eventually change to a green color. If you prefer the green tone over the copper color, you can purchase products to speed up the color change. On the other hand, if you like your copper colored roof, you can purchase a product that slows down the process.
- If you ever decide to sell your home, having a copper shingled roof can actually increase your home’s value.
- A copper roof is also an environmentally friendly roof, because copper is a recyclable material.
