Why consider an alternative to copper roofing?

  • Price: Copper is beautiful and durable, but is also an extremely expensive roofing material - to install AND insure. Because the scrap copper price has quadrupled in recent years, copper roofs are now very attractive to thieves, making them pricy and difficult to insure. Expect to pay either massive premiums, an enormous excess, or both.
  • 'Problem' Roofs: On a practical level, as a roof material, copper can be difficult to form around curved shapes or features such as skylights or chimney flues, making 'interesting' roofs problematic and still more expensive to cover.

The liquid roofing system: The 'verdi green' copper coating specially developed for the polymer roof system retains the beautiful green patina effect of copper. As an alternative to copper roofing, the liquid membrane system also has numerous important benefits and advantages:

  • Flexibility: This pioneering liquid roofing system can overcoat pin holed copper roofing and provides an alternative to sheet metal copper roof.
  • Durable and smooth: The system's superb jointless and seamless finish lasts between 15 and 25 years, depending upon the roofing system you choose.
  • Financial savings, short and long term. Using the liquid polymer alternative to copper roofing means a roof that:
    • negates risk of theft
    • is cheaper to install
    • is free to maintain
    • Doesn't require additional insurance
    • Looks fantastic - both 'cutting edge' and traditional (our roofs are even used in conservation areas)
