Standing Seam

Standing seam metal roofing's resistance to adverse weather and climatic conditions is legendary, and it comes in a variety of colors and materials: Galvalume®, copper galvanized, aluminum, and the popular Kynar 500 / Hylar5000® coatings in a number of designer colors. In addition to our manufacturing, Classic Copper Works takes on a small number of specialty roofing applications.

Along with geometric design gazebos, like the one above right, Classic Copper Works also produces complex curved roofs like the bell shaped gazebo with matching bell shaped cupola to the left. This ornate design's timeless beauty coupled with copper's durability insures that this copper specialty roof will be appreciated for many years.

Metal Shingles

The house to the right features a Victorian metal shingle roof over rubber underlayment.The metal shingles are galvalume which once aged will duplicate the look of the original galvanized shingle roof but with the longevity of modern materials.

Below we have a diamond swirl copper shingle roof on a dome and an ellipse. This project is in Carleton Woods, an exclusive subdivision in The Woodlands. The copper shingles are different sizes for each course: as the dome gets smaller, so do the shingles. Each shingle was handmade on the site one at a time. This copper shingle dome and copper shingle ellipse took approximately six weeks to complete.

Copper roofing is energy efficient. Standing seam roofs can be insulated with almost any amount of insulation. Add the radiant barrier effect to this and they are the most energy efficient of any roofing system. Fiberglass blanket insulation is installed directly under the panels and stretched over the supporting structural members to reduce energy costs and dampen noise. Foam insulation blocks also can be used between roof panels and substructures to prevent thermal loss, with a natural radiant barrier effect Radiant Barriers block the transfer of heat from the sun to your attic. Heat travels through your attic primarily as radiant energy, rather than by conduction or convection. The heat conducts to the underside of the roof deck and radiates down to the top of the ceiling insulation, then into the room below. A radiant barrier (e.g., metal roof) between the Sun and the ceiling insulation breaks the chain. A radiant barrier reflects 97% of the radiant heat back up to where it came from.

In all the areas copper roofing is superior to any other roofing material, making copper roofing the best choice for your specialty roofing needs.
