About Copper Roofing
Copper is a heavy material, which can require additional support for your roof. Copper roofs are also highly reflective, which can help reduce energy costs. A study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that copper roofs can reflect up to 95% of sunlight, making them one of the most reflective roofing materials available. This can help reduce cooling costs in the summer and heating costs in the winter.
Copper roof maintenance consists of simply rinsing the roof with water every few years to remove any accumulated dirt or debris. Copper roofs are fire resistant, making them a good choice for homes in areas prone to wildfires. One of the biggest advantages of copper roofs is their longevity; copper roofs can last over 100 years with proper maintenance. In comparison, asphalt shingles need to be replaced every 20-30 years and metal roofs need to be replaced every 40-50 years.
