  2. Copper in architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_architecture

    A vented copper roof assembly at Oak Ridge National Laboratories (U.S.) substantially reduced heat gain versus stone-coated steel shingle (SR246E90) or asphalt shingle (SR093E89), resulting in lower energy costs. [90] Types of copper roofs include: [91] Standing seam roofing is composed of preformed or field-formed pans. The pans run parallel ...

  3. Metal roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof

    Standing seam metal roofs can have a lower pitch than asphalt shingle roofs because shingled roofs need a higher pitch to keep the wind from blowing up the shingles and potentially blowing them off in high winds. Standing seam metal roofs come in sheets up to or sometimes more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long and widths of 12, 14, 16 or 18 inches (300 ...

  4. Roof seamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_seamer

    This roof seamer uses 5 sets of rolling forming dies to manipulate the metal roof panel at the "seam" where two panels meet. The Roof Runner® machine, manufactured in Sweden, was introduced by Butler Manufacturing for the MR-24® roof system. Progressive roller dies of the roof seamer are used to bend the metal roof panel seam into the desired ...

    There are four main techniques used today in the UK and mainland Europe for copper cladding [1] [2] a building: seamed-cladding (typically 0.7 mm thick copper sheet on the facade): max 600 mm by 4000 mm 'seam centres'. shingle-cladding (typically made from 0.7 mm thick copper sheet): max 600 mm by 4000 mm 'seam centres'.

  9. Flashing (weatherproofing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)

    This enables a roof to be built without weak points. Since flashing is expensive to replace if it fails, copper's long life is a major cost advantage. [10] [11] Cold rolled (to 1/8-hard temper) copper is recommended for most flashing applications. This material offers more resistance than soft copper to the stresses of expansion and contraction.
