Copper in ArchitectureFact 11 of 17
A copper composite material composed of rigid thermoplastic sheets clad on both sides with copper sheeting is finding growing application for both building exteriors and interiors. Structures can now be clad with appealing copper, but with much less weight. The 4-mm thick composites weigh about two pounds per square foot, or only 35% as much as solid copper of that thickness. A stunning example of the material is the headquarters of the Ceridian Corporation in Bloomington, Minnesota.
