If you’re after a sleek, timeless roofing material that doesn’t compromise on function or quality, copper roofing is the way to go.

Types of copper roofing
Copper roof sheeting
As the name suggests, copper roof sheeting appears in a single, cohesive piece. These can have additional detailing in New Zealand, such as panelling, to create texture and visual interest.
Copper roof tiles
Resembling a traditional ceramic roof tile, copper roof tiles present a timeless appeal, but with a slight whimsical twist. These are fantastic for bringing new life to an aged home.
The advantages of high-quality copper roofing
Copper roofing boasts impressive water resistance, and when installed correctly is totally leak-proof. It will not absorb water, as wood does, meaning it will last longer than other roofing types: the typical lifespan of copper is 80-100 years. The timeless beauty of copper also means your home’s resale value may increase, and it will attract attention from the kerbside. Additionally, copper improves the energy efficiency of your home as it reflects the harsh sunlight in New Zealand, cooling a space down during the hot months.
How to choose copper roofing that’s right for you
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to copper roofing. It is incredibly low maintenance and will last a number of years without requiring heavy upkeep. Copper roof tiles are a brilliant option for most homes across New Zealand as they fit plenty of aesthetics, while still providing functionality. Many styles and shapes are available, including scallop tiles and straight tiles. Copper roof sheeting looks best on contemporary structures that suit straight lines and angles.
