All over the UK, property owners are looking for alternatives to copper roofing. Why?

• Theft Risk: A fourfold increase in copper's scrap value has made it viable for thieves to strip copper roofing and steal copper roof detailing. This theft risk is pushing insurance costs for copper roofs higher and higher, making copper roofs too expensive to replace

• Expense: initial outlay, insurance, ongoing care and cleaning of the roof (sporadic but can be expensive)

• Difficulty of forming copper around roof details, including skylights, chimney flues and other outlets, or fitting it to awkward roof shapes.

 

BUT: You may be worried about losing that traditional genuine copper look...

The perfect solution to your copper roof problems, the liquid roofing sytem is:

  • affordable and FREE to insure (requires no insurance)
  • extremely low maintenance
  • 'perfect forming' (able to form around any detail or shape)
  • able to lock to any substrate
  • theft proof (fully adhered to substrate, valueless to thieves, plus can include Smart Water technology)
  • and looks fantastic!

The pioneering polymer roofing membrane combines the traditional 'verdi green' patina of genuine aged copper with the highest levels of performance and efficiency, all without the expense of additional insurance. It's not only the perfect alternative to copper roofing - it's the perfect roof!
