 Buying the Best Copper Gutters and Copper Sheet for Your Project

Copper is a visually appealing metal with a unique character. It’s high resistance to corrosion and thermal conductivity, ease of fabrication, strength and resistance to fatigue are all reasons to select copper. Common uses of copper in the construction industry include flashing, roofing and gutters. Copper gutters and copper sheets are readily available, and the following are tips you can use to buy the best material for your construction projects.

For copper gutters, look for products made from at least 16 ounces of cold rolled sheet copper. Cold rolling makes copper much stronger. A higher weight, such as 20 ounces, gives you a thicker wall, and it is a better choice if you live in a northern climate and anticipate ice and snow build-up or need long sections of gutter. Use appropriate fasteners, and select the shape and depth that works with your structure.

Copper is also commonly used for roofing, flashing and other ornamental applications on a building due to its visual appeal and durability. The natural weathering process causes “Patina”, which protects the copper, lends itself to a color changing show from salmon pink and russet brown shades to light and dark chocolate browns. Eventually the color shifts to a dark bronze that ultimately develops copper's notable blue-green or gray-green patinas. Understanding this property is important in ornamental applications. When selecting copper sheets, keep the final product in mind. For intricate ornamental work, use lower gauge sheets that you can easily bend and shape. Copper cupolas are an excellent use of copper, and they provide a spectacular show through time with the natural weathering process.
