Copper has been a versatile and prestigious building material for centuries, it ticks lots of boxes for both aesthetics and
practicality. But amongst its many advantages, there are some significant issues with specifying copper as a construction

alternatives, there is an opportunity for specifiers to achieve the wow factor they’re looking for at reduced cost, risk and
maintenance.
