The best alternative to copper roofing - bar none. Copper roofs are beautiful but costly to install, maintain and insure - especially with increases in scrap metal prices driving higher theft risks. The metal is also difficult to form around shapes or detailing, such as flues, chimney stacks, skylights, air conditioning units and ventilation outlets; but so-called copper 'alternatives' often don't recreate the traditional look. The 'Verdi Green' copper alternative developed for the liquid roofing system does. It's also 'perfect-forming' around any detail, affordable to install, extremely low maintenance and theftproof so it needs no specific insurance. All while offering the highest levels of performance and efficiency, for decades to come. Polymer roofing isn't just the perfect alternative to copper roofing - it's the perfect roof!

Around 50% of the copper roof had been stolen at the rear elevation of this Doctors' Surgery at Hall Grove in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.
Realising that simply renewing the copper was likely to result in further metal theft (owing to the single storey, semi-hidden location with rear access) AND that the insurance renewal excess would cost as much again as new copper roofing, the Practice Manager sourced us for an alternative…
The roof of this gazebo summer house in Golders Green near Hendon Station in the London Borough of Barnet had originally been planned as a traditional (genuine) copper roof. The garden landscape designer's brief was for a high quality garden summer house - and in keeping with this the carpentry work for the hexagonal roof was of excellent workmanship.
It had become…
Copper roofing theft had caused considerable damage to the roof of the Oliver Bird Hall in Solihull, a community hall in a conservation area near Birmingham in the West Midlands.
The Local Council granted planning permission for the rear elevation roof to be coated in liquid membrane. Unusually, the decision was then made to remove the entire roof, allowing work to progress easily and without the need for scaffolding.
