Copper sheets
Other than for roofing and coating of external surfaces (walls, chimneys, skylights, openings), copper sheets are used in the production of solar power collectors, boilers and for special electrical and mechanical engineering applications.
The long endurance and aesthetic effect of copper make them ideal for gutter construction, decoration, popular art.
