Copper roofing benefits for the mid-Ohio Valley

There are many copper roofing benefits for the mid-Ohio valley area.  Copper has earned it's place in the construction field for many reasons. We have been installing  copper in the mid-Ohio valley area  since we started in the 90's.  Copper has been our go to product when situations occur that other metals have been known to fail. We will discuss a small portion of coppers roofing benefits.

  Unlike other metals copper does not suffer from underside corrosion, that causes premature failures. Having a large temperature change in the mid- Ohio Valley area causes metals to sweat and the sweat eventually turns to rust. Rust is the largest factor in metal work failure, that I have witnessed on repair calls. If it rust eventually it's a bust!

Copper roofs are extremely durable in the mid- Ohio Valley   area. They have performed well for over 700 years! Primarily due to the patina making a protective coating. Copper has  low thermal movement (expansion and contraction).This helps by not stressing fasteners.  On small gable roofs.  expansion and contraction is relatively minor. On long panels it is necessary to let the panels float to allow movement.
