Aurubis Copper: The Benchmark for Architectural Copper Aurubis is one of the world’s leading copper producers, supplying architectural copper products renowned for purity, consistency, and long-term performance. Aurubis copper has been used for centuries on landmark buildings across Europe and continues to be specified for contemporary architecture due to its unique combination of durability and visual character. Material Excellence Aurubis copper is manufactured to stringent quality standards, ensuring: Exceptional material purity Consistent thickness and workability Predictable patina development Long-term resistance to atmospheric corrosion This consistency is critical for roofing and cladding systems, where material behaviour directly affects installation quality and lifespan. Natural Patina and Architectural Character One of the defining qualities of copper is its evolving patina. Aurubis copper transitions naturally from its initial bright finish to rich brown tones and eventually to a protective green patina over time. This patina is not merely aesthetic—it forms a self-protecting layer that significantly extends the life of the material, often exceeding 100 years in service. Sustainability Credentials Aurubis copper is 100% recyclable without loss of performance. Its long lifespan, minimal maintenance requirements, and recyclability make it one of the most sustainable roofing and cladding materials available. Our Expertise with Aurubis Copper Systems Zinc and Copper London Metal Roofing Limited has developed specialist expertise across a wide range of Aurubis copper roofing and façade systems. Our experience includes both traditional craftsmanship and modern architectural applications.

Copper Cladding and Façades Copper cladding is increasingly specified for contemporary buildings due to its visual impact and durability.
