In the early 1900s, roofing manufacturers were seeking a less expensive metal that was compatible with the marble, white-painted wood and other masonry sidings. Copper sheets provided the basic strength of the metal. Then workers at manufacturers dipped these sheets of copper into hot lead
The result of this combination of copper sheets and hot lead offered a stronger, a lighter, a less expensive and a less staining roofing material. In addition, the combo allowed finer decorative detail opportunities and more resistance to acidic seaside conditions.
Technically, the finish is a silicon-modified, aliphatic polyurethane blend that produces a barrier coating against weathering, corrosion and dirt retention.
Here are some reasons for interest in this gray spangled metal colored finish:
no lead, but has the appearance......
waterproof and durable......
ages without discoloration.....
resistant to staining......to name a few.
