About Copeland Coppersmiths
Established in 1985, and with decades of experience, Copeland Coppersmith boasts some of the most well-known iconic Irish buildings among our projects, including The Four Courts, The Customs House, Trinity College and Portumna Castle.
Traditional Copper
Copper offers a character and durability that no other metal roof can match. Its appearance can complement any style of building, from the traditional to the modern. Its warmth and beauty make it a preferred material for many architects.
Traditional Lead
Rolled Sheet Lead is the traditional roofing material of choice in the Irish Market. This is due to its long-lasting weather proofing performance when used as either a wide sheet roofing material or as a flashing around Chimneys, Roof Valleys, Dormer Windows, Parapet Walls and Hips & Ridges.
Longstrip Copper
The natural development of copper patina is one of copper’s unique characteristics. Within a few days of exposure to the atmosphere, the surface of classic copper begins to oxidize, changing its color from the “bright” mill finish to a chestnut brown which gradually darkens over several years to a chocolate brown. With KME TECU and Aurubis Nordic products we have a range of factory-applied surface treatments to provide the various stages of oxidation and patination straightaway.
VM Zinc
Zinc is among the most sustainable metals used in construction. There are many reasons to choose zinc for building envelope. The history of VMZINC is that of a tradition that goes back more than 180 years. A history that spans the centuries and reflects the image of a noble, durable and robust metal with exceptional durability and great malleability.
Rheinzink
RHEINZINK titanium zinc allows design freedom that is not always possible with other materials. Numerous historical buildings worldwide can attest to the fact that zinc roofs over 100 years are completely intact with minimal maintenance performed. Moreover, every RHEINZINK product made today consists of 30% secondary material.
PREFA Aluminium
For more than 75 years, PREFA has been manufacturing roofs, façades and solar systems made of robust aluminium, which are designed and installed by competent partners and will protect your home for decades. PREFALZ offers a wide range of standard colours, mainly in P.10 quality, with a 40-year colour guarantee. The paint coating is applied and fired in several processing stages in the coil-coating process. As a result, the coating layer is malleable and very weather-resistant.
Traditional & Conservation
Copeland Coppersmiths have the skills and experience to re-instate copper and lead roofing elements in a manner that maintains and enhances the history of old and treasured buildings.
Commercial
We have completed a number of large scale roofing and cladding projects on Office and Institutional buildings. The scale and quality of these projects require a progressive and skilled workforce to achieve the end product as imagined by the design team.
Residential
Whether it is a high end private house or a large scale residential development, Copeland Coppersmiths have the experience and skills to add that exquisite finishing to your new home.
