What is copper cladding?

Cladding shields your property from the elements (and Melbourne offers a unique environmental challenge in the form of unpredictable wind and rain). Combining aesthetic and practical functions, your choice of cladding will have a direct impact on your long-term costs and the appearance of your property.

Enter copper cladding.

A timeless and bold building material used for centuries, copper or copper alloy cladding offers a lightweight yet durable material that’s easily manipulated to suit custom designs and facades. As an added advantage, copper exposed to the elements will oxidise for vibrant results. This process transitions the colour of your cladding throughout the years for a striking facade that grows and changes with your property.

At AMC, we provide copper in a range of finishes directly from the manufacturer including:

  • Natural
  • Pre-Weather (Oxidised)
  • Patina

What are the advantages of copper cladding?

Copper cladding service section

Cladding was traditionally used for its protective purposes (with historical use of copper dating back centuries) – but times have changed. Modern cladding offers a range of aesthetic advantages that are hard to go past.

Offering instant elegance to any property, copper cladding adds an undoubted charm which provides value whether you’re planning to sell down the line or simply want to come home to a house that’s visually striking. If you’re considering a copper cladding facade, consider the following benefits:

Visual Appeal

Copper cladding remains striking throughout the years. As time passes, copper cladding will develop a distinctive patina (the grown-brown film on the cladding surface) that can stand alone or complement surrounding timber or brick exterior surfaces.

Low Maintenance

Copper cladding provides a natural resistance to mould, mildew and insect infestations. This creates a low-maintenance finish that won’t demand your attention over time the way other cladding materials may.

Highly Flexible

Copper is a highly malleable material which provides a high level of creativity and design. Ideal for custom exteriors that require a unique cladding option, copper can be installed to suit curved facades and suit any contemporary design.

Timeless Finish

Copper cladding delivers an ever-changing finish that reacts to the environment and location of the installation. Creating a truly beautiful life cycle, copper is sought after as a roofing and cladding material because it affords a timeless finish that’s constantly changing.

Cost-Effective

Copper cladding is one the most durable and long-lasting choices available. Able to protect your property and stand out for five decades or more, the upfront cost of copper cladding installation becomes a highly economical choice that does not require constant maintenance or replacing.

How much does copper cladding cost?

It’s a common misconception that copper cladding is inherently expensive. While any metal cladding will not be an entry-level finish, there are a range of factors that introduce cost diversity which can deliver a stunning finish at a price that works for you.

At AMC, we pride ourselves on honest and transparent communication with clients from project inception to completion. Copper cladding typically falls between $500 to $600 per m2. However, when factoring in the low maintenance advantages (few external cladding options are as easy to maintain) and long lifespan, installing copper cladding becomes a highly economical choice.

How long does copper cladding take to install?

At AMC, we  focus on being efficient and reliable when it comes to the onsite installation. We understand the importance of keeping disruption to a minimum whether you live in Toorak, Brighton, Albert Park or the Mornington Peninsula.

Every project is customised to meet your clients’ needs and keep costs to a minimum. This includes a custom measure and fit to ensure we are fully across the needs of your project and reduces the need for re-works and reorientation. On average, it takes between 2 to 5 days to clad an entire Melbourne property. However, this depends on the size of your home, the complexity of your facade and the challenges of your block.

Frequently Asked Questions About Copper Cladding in Melbourne

Copper cladding may be fitted to curved exteriors. However, where a flat panel is required, we recommend a maximum length of 4 metres. For soffit applications (for example, arches and porches), we recommend a maximum length of 3 metres.

Yes. Many Melburnians are looking to incorporate longer-lasting materials with energy-efficient properties. Copper cladding reflects light which prevents heat from entering your building during the summer and cold from entering your building in the winter. This means your clients can rely less on the A/C system with external insulation helping regulate internal temperatures.

As more and more Melbournians begin to consider the impact their architectural projects have, it’s natural to wonder how copper measures up. Copper is one of a select few metals that is fully sustainable. Most mined copper remains in use and roughly 55% of copper used in architecture is recycled.
