Below are some good reasons for considering copper as a sound alternative as a construction material:

Some features of Copperform roofing systems include:

	It is no coincidence that some of the world’s most famous buildings feature copper roofing, walling and rainwater goods. Consider the Pentagon (Washington D.C.), the Statue of Liberty, the Dublin Library, the Paris Opera House, St Peter’s (The Vatican) Dome, Elsinore Castle (Denmark) and many, many more, all exhibiting some of the finest uses of copper.
	Owner equity is fundamental to the institutional buildings, so long maintenance free life is of paramount importance. The life of a copper roof can be measured in centuries. Two copper installations, the Temple of Heaven (Beijing) and the Nagoya Castle (Japan) boast copper installations that are now in excess of 500 years old.
	The flexibility of copper (Physically and in design), provides Architects with the widest range of design options in shape and form. No concept should be dismissed without reference to the Copperform Design Advisory Service.
	Restoration work becomes simpler because of the “user friendliness” of copper and the light weight of the Copperform systems.
	Copperform Heritage Patina Systems can provide a century old look, at the time of the installation.
