Aurubis Mill Finished Copper: Preserving Tradition with Nordic Standard
Aurubis presents a diverse range of copper solutions for roofs and façades, offering factory-applied surface treatments to achieve various stages of oxidation and patination. The Nordic Copper range encompasses a spectrum of finishes, including brown oxidation and green or blue pre-patination, catering to architectural preferences. Additionally, Aurubis provides prefabricated systems to streamline material installation.
Nordic Standard: Embracing Tradition
Nordic Standard represents a classic approach, featuring bright finish copper with a mill finish devoid of additional surface treatments. This untreated copper is designed to naturally oxidize in the environment over time, evolving in character and aesthetic appeal. While Nordic Standard embodies tradition, Aurubis also offers alternative copper finishes, including green or blue pre-patination, brown pre-oxidization, brass, and bespoke options tailored to individual project requirements.
