Nordic Copper for Architecture


‘A1 (non-combustible material)’ fire classification to EN 13501-1, copper is suitable for cladding tall buildings, using appropriate constructions. Low thermal movement makes it appropriate for any climates and locations – and it is non-toxic and safe to handle, as well as non-brittle and safe to work. The Nordic Copper range includes Nordic Standard ‘mill finish’ and Nordic Brown pre-oxidised copper in two intensities. The


C


opper has an unrivalled lifespan, no maintenance and full recyclability. With a melting point of 1083˚C and


extensive Nordic Blue, Nordic Green and Nordic Turquoise ranges have been developed with properties and colours based on the same brochantite mineralogy found in natural patinas all over the world. They utilise copper mineral compounds,

Nordic Brass – also available pre-weathered – and the innovative Nordic Royal, an alloy
