Besides the prestige esthetics, a copper roof has many advantages including a long life expectancy, environmental sustainability and high fire rating.
A copper shingle roof has a life expectancy of over 100 years, while most copper manufacturer warranties are 30 to 50 years. Copper roofs have a high reflection rate, reflecting heat rather than absorbing it. This effect will slightly decrease the cost of cooling your house in the summer.
Most copper roofs and shingles are made with recycled copper. So you are being environmentally conscious by installing your first copper roof, but if it needs to be replaced one day it will be recycled again.
Finally, copper shingles are so light weight that is can installed over an existing roof without having to demolish the old roof. Save on materials and labor costs.
