The beauty of copper with the performance of stainless steel
Rainwater Products
The ability to accept severe forming makes CopperPlus perfect for gutters, downspouts and fabricated rain drainage components. The stainless steel core provides greater erosion resistance than copper, and therefore fewer failures.
Flashing
CopperPlus cuts, forms and installs easily, and it's compatible with all types of mortar and mortar additives. Perfect for base, counter, cap, eave, valley, drip, fascia and step flashing.
Decorative Components
CopperPlus looks and ages just like copper, which makes it ideal for fabricating dormers, cupolas, finials,spires, scuppers and conductors.
Fastens easily
CopperPlus can be installed using any of the usual fasteners — nails, screws, bolts, rivets, clips, etc. — which are made of copper, stainless, brass or bronze.
40 Year Field Test
If you hink CopperPlus is a new untested product think again. It lasts as long as copper, wears like copper but is lighter, cheaper and stronger.

Benefits
More than copper for less than copper.
CopperPlus copper clad stainless steel (ASTM B506) looks just like solid copper, which means you can have the classic beauty of solid copper at a much lower price. You also get greater strength, increased durability, lower weight, reduced thermal expansion, improved solder joints and complete formability. In other words, much more for much less.
Weighs less. Costs less.
CopperPlus outperforms copper yet weighs significantly less. You save money because the outer layers of copper are bonded to a core of stainless steel. Less copper equals less cost.
Stronger.
The stainless steel core in CopperPlus provides a significant strength advantage over plain copper. Thus, you can use thinner gauges while at the same time achieving improved mechanical performance.
Lasts longer.
Copper is soft and susceptible to failure from erosion corrosion. But the stainless steel core of CopperPlus limits wear, which is why CopperPlus installed in the 1960s still performs as well as when it was installed.
Solders easier.
CopperPlus has lower thermal conductivity than ordinary copper, so you can use smaller, cooler irons and get easier solder flow, higher joint shear strength and faster installation.
Takes any form.
CopperPlus, even with the added strength of its stainless steel core, can be shaped, fashioned and formed just like copper, using the same tools. Gutters, downspouts, cornices and other intricate shapes are easily formed to bring beauty, quality and durability to any installation.
What it is, how it's used.
CopperPlus looks like copper, forms like copper, ages like copper, because it is copper. But it's also much more. It's copper metallurgically bonded to a core of stainless steel, creating a new clad material with the best characteristics of both.
