Copper and Zinc Roofs

- The film shows how a copper roof and is replaced. It shows how the tracks formed in the workshop and subsequently held by the roof.
In the 1860s metal roofs became popular in house building. Especially the flat parts of Copenhagen roofs are roofed with zinc. Metal roofs can be adapted to roof surfaces in various forms and are therefore a good solution for dormers, turrets and spires.
Copper roofs patinate in a natural process and change from reddish to a darker brown colour. This is a layer that protects against corrosion and after some 40 years the roof changes again to the green patina that we know from many old buildings.
Often it's the details in a building that are brought out with a covering of copper and zinc solutions, which plumbers have refined and carried out for generations.
The unique details accentuate the character of the building, and this is why it is important to renovate the roof correctly, so that the architectonic and original expression of the building can be maintained for future generations.
Second generation roofer coming to the end of my days.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful work, gentlemen. I am a builder and use copper roofs and lead flashings wherever I can or am able to convince an American customer that one should build for the next generation, not for the next decade as so many do. My family were builders in Czech and Slovakia, 100 years ago, and perhaps it is in my blood. My grandfathers from Slovakia caused a church to be built in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the 1920's. Here there was a very tall steeple or bell tower and as a 16 year old, my uncle, the tinsmith, Jim Benko was hired in the 1970's to replace the copper work there. I had the privilege to work on this repair work in zinc, lead and copper. Now, alas, the church is closed and the congregation gone to the cemetery's. Now they worship in aluminum and steel box buildings designed for raising cattle, not in a 1000 year stone structure standing as a testament to ones faith and skills. I am afraid that one day soon the church and all of the fine work of the dedicated craftsman will be pulled down and the land paved over for use as a gas station. So much of the building trades in America are now embracing shoddy and temporary materials, with workers that have no proper training. The land of "Mobile Homes" overtakes us. Too few have an eye or patience for quality work
Alas, the people that built in stone, copper and oak had the wealth to play for the materials and craftsmen. The finacialism that has overtaken our society has stolen that wealth and given it to the mobsters that build ugly temples to Mammon. What is left over can barely pay for a plastic and aluminum box on wheels to be placed on rented land.
I agree machines need men! Respect real skill much better and teachable learned lots from a Polish and Russian builder friends who finished up in London Simon & Max brilliant men WW2 war vets. They could do just about anything said their fathers taught them and they were fun to work with!
As far as using copper in America it will bring out the scrap thieves and also there are alot of homeowners who would prefer to pay a neanderthal to install aluminum coil stock and vinyl siding ,shingle roofing that may last 15-20 yrs if your lucky and rubber lining or a roof coating in your box gutters for an inflated price.
American craftsman are a thing of the past and the drugs and gun violence is out of control.
Hello Richard,..I'm going to attempt a small roof using copper, do you have any tips or even a video. Gladly pay you for such
Please teach the children! This is a skill I would pay to learn!
Thanks for you comment.
Yes - the film is used at the school for coppersmiths already, and we are planing to get in touch with the younger also - kids from premiere school. BR - Anders Dylov, filmproducer
Man I love this video I do copper double fold and flat lock all the time iron saulder and lace saulder everything I have respect for other roof artists like me cheers keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment
We do this work in the USA and abroad, and it's cleaner than the work in the video. No disrespect to Germany, Austria and France: we learned from them. Good video
Amazing craftsmanship. I wish this skill and attention to detail existed here in the U.S. Also would be great if copper materials weren't so expensive.
Yes - come to Copenhagen when things again open op and see all the roof, maybe you can visit the handcraft builders also! - BR - Anders Dylov
Facts
Uhh. I’ve done many roofs like this here in the states. Most of them old churches or old university campus buildings and a few gazebos, clock towers and the like. And this is just in my city alone. I’m sure they are far more numerous back in the NE states. The largest project was about 15,000 sq ft of roofing panels, 100’s of ft. of wall flashings, gutters and downspouts. Many upper end homes had smaller roofs systems and chimney flashings as accents. Installation methods were very similar only I had a machine that closed the double folded standing seams, yielding far superior results than what I just witnessed in this video.
Asphalt works great for roads let's use it for roofs too /s somebody a long time ago should've known better.
@@leadfoot8593 asphalt DOES work great for roofs.
The dark brown color of the first patina is beautiful.
Awesome trade! I’d love to have a go at that. I’d also love to get my hands on their scrap pile!
Incredible. Copper roofs are the best
Excellent workmanship.

Nice movie, Total oldschool metalwork 👍 Greatings from metalManiak 😊
metalManiak Yes ... Old school..❗️
Dzien dobry :)
😉
Beautiful work.
Knee joints out, then, the all the hammered folds might corrode over the decades as they got thinned. Very Expensive Old method. Hot Roof as well.
Dekarze robią pod dachem , no i te miedziane gwoździe .
Na bogato 👍
- Tak - robią własne gwoździe i uchwyty, które nazywane są haczykami do spodni.
Great video - thank you!
Awesome roofs!
Hard work and skilled men great to see them in action so good they make it look easy it's not! A beautiful very durable material improving with age!
good work!👌
Freaking good craftsmanship! These guys know what they're doing. this clip should be shown to building professionals in USA who don't know a birds p00 about this craft. Thats why metal roofs there are actually bitumen roofs, perforated by thousands of screws, which hold the metal camouflage down.
I know several craftsmen that can and do this type of work. It's the fact that no one wants to pay the price. Materials alone, you're looking at 5-10 times the cost of an asphalt roof, completely laid. The value in a 100 year roof just isn't seen.
Tom B. You're right. The cost of materials and the labor cost together simply put a double locked standing seam copper roof out of reach of the average American homeowner's pocketbook. Folks understand the value. They simply cannot afford it. Noone wants to finance a $50,000 roof only to pay $75,000 with interest over time.
This is complete bullshit. I’ve done copper roof system far greater in scale than in this video. Matter of fact I was not at all impressed with their craftsmanship.
Wow amazing craft
thanks for your informations
Bloody enjoyed watching that 👌
Хорошая работа.
Spasibo, chto posmotreli fil'm i kommentariy. Prodyuser Anders Dylov
Maestros ! .Exelente trabajo tambien trabajo esta tecnica y me gustaria trabajar con ustedes
Отлично!
Alternative roofing..... Quite involved...

Nice work.
That's some good craftsmanship but there are hydraulic rollers that can minimize fatigue.
i like thank u
Great video... Craftsmanship... Quality with Passion. I am doing the same way 🤓
Thanks for looking in to our film, and I'm think you are happy having a job like the persion in our film. Bedst regards - Anders, Producer
Byggefilm. dk ... Thank you Anders for your response, yes I am enjoying working with the copper.. very much 😀 Check my short video clips please and let me know what you think . Warm greetings from San Francisco..Ziggy
I saw it before I wrote to you very nice cistern the two you have made.
We are trying to get some off the other film translatede into english, do think people like you in US will be looking into our film?
Would it make since to make a youtube channel called building film?
I think, many of the film is with cases from Denmark, but maybe it the same princip in US with some of the skills?
Best Regards - Anders
I recommend highly that you will contact with Copper Developed an Association in New York City.. there are highest advocate of copper in the world... they my use your videos at there website..
Byggefilm. There are individuals that they are looking for Great videos like yours.. They serve as an education form to Young Generation to preserve the Copper Trade Tradition
Proof that good old craftsmanship & give a shit still exhist in this world !!!!!!!!!!!! Thecopperguy

Wow: excellent craftsmanship. At first I couldn't figure out what part of England he was from: his accent being so thick. Finally the next guy ave it away: likely Denmark.
@@gwendiffenbacher1695 So sad your joke only got one thumbs up in two years. Here, have another one.
У нас в России, мне за такую работу руки бы оторвали! а у вас ценится!
Nothing is said about those long straps that are put down between the sheathing boards. I assume they get affixed to something inside the attic space. Is it to framing or to the underside of the sheathing? I can't imagine it works out that there is always a rafter nearby.
They are secured to the deck from underneath. It keeps the middle of the panel from lifting off the deck in heavy winds.

its nice to see and good work, but this is how we worked 30 years ago over here. now you have coils and Schleebach rollformersß
Zinc and Copper, you can not work the same way. All those seamed up ridge detail would tear, doing it with zinc.
Zinc you work with Flashings, Covers and Cap detail, that allow for expension.
Тяжёлая работа,но финал радует.
Pretty amazing they are still doing everything by hand in this danish roofing company. With a couple of machines you would save ALOT of time and effort but with the exact same result.
Historical buildings are often governed by people who don't care about what makes sense. Their only concern is preservation of the original look and stye. For sure you can run the panels by a machine. You can't create transverse, pinch, and sweep seams with a machine. Not the same result...
@joecee67 Still very new to it. I'm a contractor in Ohio. We've been trying to convince our customers to go this route with their roof replacements. It's an uphill battle though.
joecee67 send me a friend request on FB. I'd like to follow your work.
@@robertunversaw sure you can, that's how ductwork is made.
@@leeknivek this is not duct work.
Why are the rolls made of short pieces folded together, instead of long unbroken rolls? Is it to help the sheets deal with expansion?
No it is actually the old vay to do it. The cupper is expanding in the squares - last up to 120 years - long sheets roofs only last apx. 50-60 years because of the big expansion.
Soo good. Copper or zing which one is durable or good?
Eh koliko sam pokrio limenih krovova na ovj način , kuca, hala, crkava i drugih krovova, eto tako de nekad radilo i to su bili dobri krovovi, a sad imamo ove profilisane limove pa je mnogo lakše i brže raditi.
Da to je tocno. Stari načini gradnje su još uvijek najbolji i najtrajniji, takav bakreni krov može trajati i do 100 godina. Nove oznake profila traju samo 20 - 30 godina!
Is this copper roofing recommended for common residential roofs, instead of ceramic tiles? I wonder cause 1) the wooden planks beneath the roofing are not so tightly placed, 2) This along with the roofing material should make the heat insulation value worse, 3) as well as the noise-insulation...can one put insulation beneath it? 4) what happens with storms and lightnings since this is a metal roof?
Little late, but if anyone is wondering... Copper roofing can be used pretty much anywhere, even low slope (with solder) where you can't use any type of tile/shingle.
No roofing has any significant r-value. Insulation has to be installed under it. Metal roofs do get hotter to the touch, but they have less thermal mass to store heat from the sun on your roof. There are special materials/procedures for insulating directly under metal, due to the surface temp of it. Rain on metal roofs is definitely louder.
Lightning is irrelevant for roof materials. A metal roof doesn't have any stronger ground than any other roof. Metal roofs can't increase the ground connection. Even a pole barn isn't setting the metal in the ground, so I don't think it attracts any more lightning than the grounding of the frame of the building permits...
I wonder that the technical terms and the words for tools are the same as in German.
Nice work btw
I believe he is speaking Danish
How does copper roofing fare in high temperature environments (like here in Australia)? And how does it hold up during hailstorms?
We have ask the copper expert Brian Toft, and we are waiting for his answer.
0:17 english 1
5:05 english 2 tacking
8:20 english 3 (zinc roof)
Sorry for the ignorance but would it not be better to put something between the copper and the wood for more insulation or protection, like a layer of foam or something? Would the copper directly touching the wood not mean more likely for it to rot or suffer damage?
No it must be able to move. Insulation below roof boards retrospectively with permeable insulation likely ok .
Yes it normally would, but that is likely an unheated attic. So the attic floor is likely insulated (smaller surface area to insulate the floor if you don't need to use the attic).
@@Philsy1845 it's always best practice to insulate above the sheathing, rather than below it.
that project must be historical because they're on the market double lock panels would be same quality just less work but definitely nice work
Or price. Buying the copper coil and making them exactly to your spec could be much cheaper to someone with the tools and experience.
What is umber putty? And where do you get it?
How about some pink rosin paper for a moisture barrier? Remember condensation!
gap boarding and natural ventilation takes care of that what did they do before building paper was invented ? thats why americans are so bad at proper traditional metal roofing cause they think they know everything and they just dont
What exactly is "umber putty?" I don't see any other videos where this is being used.
Jim Lundy putty is used to seal the join. Umber is a colour!
@@edwardcharles9764 Why seal a double locked seam though? I've never seen it done either...
Robert Unversaw It’s not really a sealant. I’ts more of a lube to prevent ”self harm” to the materials. Copper and other metals tend to move back and forth when temprature falls and raises.

Would use an underpayment.
First get a wheel barrow full of money, good thing they last 100 years .
Mega Dollars.
why do you work so hard? when now we have tehnology to do the same work beather and faster ?
Very good😊
When you have a house you can change it to whatever you want, when some antique buildings are being repaired it is important to keep it the stile that it was.
Ionel Minut I haven't seen technology use a hammer and dolly up on a roof. For that you need the oldest tools in the world - hands!

Zgodnie ze sztuką blacharską, ale sprzed 100 lat, dlatego stary dach zerwał wiatr, a oni robią nowy w ten sam sposób, teraz nie używa się haftr miedzianych, tylko ze stali nierdzewnej V2, są bardziej stabilne i mocniejsze i mocuje się je za pomocą gwożdzi karbowanych nierdzewnych, a nie miedzianych. Blachy pobite z wgnieceniami i upaplane z kleju strasznie niechlujna praca, jeszcze dają to na TH-cam

Przemek, pokarz swoje dzieła, byśmy nie pomyśleli że paplasz jak zazdrosna dziewczynka. Gwoździe i hafty miedziane są używane w europie przez ponad 600 lat z dobrym skutkiem. Potrzeba na gwoździe karbowane i hafty z nierdzewki powstały, kiedy cwaniaczki zaczeły używać laminatówzamiast zdrowych dech calowych pod blachę, oraz zbyt cienkiej miedzi na hafty.
It will not be on that roof if the gypsys gets it ha ha😁😁👍🙏
What Gypsies would that be? All Gypsies I guess. If your brother does a bad job, does that mean your going to do a bad job. Not all Gypsies do bad work.

To much expensive. To much
If you want a tight copper roof, this is the method. The price is probably less decisive, the most important thing is a roof where rain will not enter for many years to come - we are talking +50 years.
In strong winds, water can run upwards, therefore double folds
