Initially, the
material has the aesthetic qualities of the bright copper
surface which, on exposure to the atmosphere, slowly changes to
dark brown as the oxide layer forms and later develops copper's
typical green patina layer on pitched surfaces.

Oxid |
|
 |
Oxid is copper that
is specially treated in a patented industrial process in which
strips are oxidised on both sides. With Oxid, the bright copper
phase is bridged so that a uniform, dark brown oxidised layer is
achieved even before the cladding is laid. This is not an
artificial colouring process or coating, but rather an oxidised
layer which is created from the surface of the copper itself.
The surface further develops into the natural oxide layer in the
course of weathering. The special manufacturing technology used
produces lighter and darker shades of brown.

Pre-Pat |
|
 |
Using a specially
developed industrial process, copper sheets are patinated green
on one side. This process causes an oxidised layer to form on
the surface of the copper – a process similar to the natural
patination that occurs over a long period of time when copper is
exposed to atmospheric conditions. This is not an artificial
colouring or coating process. Patina does away with the waiting
time otherwise necessary until the pitched surfaces eventually
turn green as a result of the natural effects of weathering.

Zinn |
|
 |
Zinn (matt grey,
tinned) natural copper that has been specially tinned and
surface-treated on both sides to create a matt grey surface. The
surface continues to develop further over time on exposure to
the atmosphere. The result is a warm, matt grey colour which
harmonises excellently with other building materials. This
material gives architects looking to create a light, grey
surface many interesting design possibilities. When using Zinn
they also get all the technical advantages of copper, such as
durability and workability in cold temperatures.

Brass |

With a reddish
golden surface for impressive new façade solutions using copper.
Brass is a CuZn15-grade copper and zinc alloy that has been
specially designed for use on façades. Weathering changes the
original reddish golden colour of the surface in a very lively
manner, with each façade developing its own unique
characteristics. After the initial matting, the surface |

Bronze |
|
 |
With a superior,
reddish brown surface for impressive new façade solutions in
copper. Bronze is an alloy of CuSn4 grade copper and tin. The
original warm reddish-brown colour of the surface develops in a
characteristic manner through weathering. Typical for this alloy
is a brown-red oxidation of the surface with a brown-grey
colouring underneath; the material then very gradually changes
to dark brown anthracite throughout. |

Gold |
|
 |
With a precious
golden surface for impressive new façade solutions using copper.
Gold is a copper and aluminium alloy. The original shiny golden
colour of the surface goes through characteristic changes when
exposed to normal weathering. After the initial matting, a
golden and yellowish oxidation layer gradually emerges, and this
changes over time into a soft golden colour. The patination
processes do not give rise to any further intensive colouring on
façade surfaces.
