Traditional laying methods rely entirely upon the skills of hand application and the forming of soft copper sheet with appropriate tools. Normally, sheet lengths will not exceed 2m and fixing is direct, usually using fixed clips only. |

The system utilises batten rolls and/or standing seams and gives the appearance of being more 'hand finished' compared with the Long Strip method, due to the softer temper of copper used. The same techniques apply equally to wall cladding and roofing. The Traditional batten roll method, commonly seen on older buildings, enables a roof to appear structured with defined sections and is particularly appropriate to lower pitched roofs subject to foot traffic. |

Other Systems
Copper can be used in a variety of other forms including shingles, tiles, cassette panels, bonded panels - and even profiled sheets capable of self support between purlins. Extensive detailed drawings suitable for this method are included in the 120 page publication Copper-Roofing - In Detail. Drawing extracts from the publication can also be viewed on the Detailing pages of this website in either Double-lock standing seam details or Batten roll details. |
