Benefits of Copper Roofing

Copper metal roofing systems made out of this material have various advantages including:

  • Low maintenance.

Roof care can be costly and time-consuming. Yet this system needs little care. You won’t need to do anything beyond an annual cleaning unless some horrible hurricane attacks Toronto and damages your roof with the flying debris.

Note that this procedure should be performed by professional contractors, because they use specialized solutions and tools that won’t damage patina, the natural protective coating that prevents corrosion.

  • High degree of weather protection.

Snowy Toronto winters won’t be threatening your roof, since this material is impervious to water damage, and its natural protection gets stronger when the metal ages and oxidates (patina). Properly placed copper roofs won’t be damaged by winds. This metal offers efficient lightning protection.

  • Fire resistance.

Copper roofs won’t catch on fire from a stray ember that travels up your chimney. If a fire occurs inside the house, the roof can prevent it from spreading.

  • Sustainability.

These roofs are green. Patina turns the metal greenish, but it indicates that it’s environmentally friendly that matters most. This roof can last for centuries and be recycled if you decide to replace it.
