Copper and Copper Alloys in Design and Architecture...

As the most frequently used processing methods, copper sheeting, tubing and wiring produce most of the copper objects around us. Copper sheet is light in weight, easy to work and join, visually attractive and extremely durable. It resists attack by air and moisture. Copper alloys, such as bronzes and brasses (copper alloyed principally with aluminium and zinc respectively) are also used in architectural design, offering a variety of colours and finishes, which combined with copper's exceptional characteristics make them the choice of designers world-wide.
