   Metal roofs are 100% recyclable and can be made from other recycled products.

   Copper roofing in rural atmospheres corrodes at rates of less than 0.4 mm (1 ⁄ 64 in) in 200 years. [27] Unlike most other metals, copper does not suffer from underside corrosion that can cause premature failures in roofing. With a copper roof, supporting substrates and structures usually fail long before the copper on the roof. [11]

5. Building material - Wikipedia

   Sometimes people take into consideration the energy savings or durability of the materials and see the value of paying a higher initial cost in return for a lower lifetime cost. For example, an asphalt shingle roof costs less than a metal roof to install, but the metal roof will last longer so the lifetime cost is less per year.

7. Terne - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terne

   Terne metal can last 90 years or more if the paint is maintained. Terne-coated stainless steel (TCS II or Roofinox), or copper is commonly used to replace terne metal roofs as either material will outlast terne metal. Terne-coated stainless steel roofing can last 100 years or more unpainted; copper roofing can last 50 years or more unpainted.
