Advantages
CopperPlus provides a host of advantages that add significantly to the exterior aesthetics, practicality, longevity, and appeal of buildings that incorporate the look of copper into new and innovative designs for conventional as well as cool and green building projects.
High Strength
Since the core of CopperPlus is made of stainless steel, the material is significantly stronger than solid copper even at a much thinner gauge.
Reduced Weight/Lower Cost
CopperPlus saves construction costs all the way down the line. Less weight means easier handling, less fatigue, faster installation, and material costs that are less expensive than solid copper.
Endurance
Since the bond occurs at the atomic level, CopperPlus is as strong as the metals themselves. CopperPlus offers high resistance to corrosion and needs no protective coating when set in mortar or concrete.
Easy Soldering
The lower thermal conductivity of the stainless steel core retains the heat of the joint, thus permitting the use of smaller, cooler irons at higher speeds.
