Copper is Sustainable

Among the hundreds of wonderful things copper is used for in and around our homes, it is probably recognized first as a plumbing material. Copper plumbing requires no maintenance, meets or exceeds building codes in all 50 states, won't burn or break down, and can last for the life of your building.

Additionally, the spires and roofs from the celebrated castles and cathedrals of Europe to the solid copper "Golden Temple" in Kunming, China, or the famous baptistery doors of Italy's Florence Cathedral, copper and its alloys, bronze and brass, continue to serve as decorative and functional elements on some of the world's oldest and most famous architecture.
