Operating period of a copper roof  is 100-150 years.It is not necessary to look after it , but if urgent copper can be easily  repaired. Copper till now is considered to be as  one of the most expensive roofing materials. It is not recommended to save on a roof. Taking into account this solid operating period copper can be considered   to be  the cheapest roofing material. During its  long lasting period  color of a copper roof varies: First it is reddish -yellow, brightly shining under the sun, then appears  noble bronze-brown color soon varying on matte-black, and at last, having grown old (in fifteen years), it f becomes bright green- malachite. Copper oxid  protects metal from influence of  atmosphere better than any paint. . It is possible that the natural beauty of copper can   satisfy the most refined taste. But it was found out, that the painting of a copper roof set by the nature constrains the flight of fancy of architects and designers.
