A material with exceptional durability
The durability of copper in architecture can be attributed to several important factors. First, copper is known for its resistance to corrosion. When exposed to atmospheric conditions, copper gradually develops a protective patina that acts as a natural barrier against further degradation. The patina forms over time and contributes to copper's aesthetic appeal as well as its resistance to the elements.
Copper is also an extremely strong metal that can withstand mechanical stress and deformation. This makes it suitable for extreme weather conditions such as high winds, snow loads, and thermal expansion and contraction. Copper's strength and flexibility means that it can maintain its stability for a long time without losing its form or function.
Another factor that contributes to the durability of copper in architecture is its ease of maintenance. While other materials may require frequent maintenance and repairs to stay in good condition, copper typically requires minimal upkeep. A periodic inspection may be all that is needed to keep copper looking and performing for decades.
Patinated: the beautiful transformation
Just like zinc, a protective patina also forms on copper surfaces. Copper patina is a process in which copper develops a natural color and surface protection over time. When copper is exposed to atmospheric conditions, it begins to oxidize and form a patina. The patina can range from a deep brown to a beautiful blue-green color, depending on the environment and how the copper has been treated.
Patinated copper is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also protects it from corrosion and prolongs its lifespan.
