Copper Sheet (0.55mm, 0.7mm, 1.0mm)
High-purity copper sheet available in three standard thicknesses for architectural cladding, roofing, and decorative applications. Offers exceptional durability, natural patina development, and superior corrosion resistance suitable for all Australian climate zones.
High-purity copper sheet available in three standard thicknesses for architectural cladding, roofing, and decorative applications. Offers exceptional durability, natural patina development, and superior corrosion resistance suitable for all Australian climate zones.
Commercial-grade copper sheet conforming to AS 1566-1997 (R2018) specifications, manufactured from electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper with 99.9% purity. Available in cold-rolled H00 temper for optimal balance of formability and strength. The material develops a protective patina over time, transitioning from bright metallic to characteristic green-blue finish. Extensively used in Australian heritage and contemporary architecture for roofing, wall cladding, flashings, and decorative elements. Particularly suited to coastal and bushfire-prone areas due to non-combustible properties and marine environment resistance.
