Over the last few decades, Aurubis has developed a range of treatments for copper coils and sheets used for facades, roofs and other architectural elements around the world.
As well as Nordic Standard ‘mill finish’ copper, Nordic Brown is pre-oxidised giving either light or dark brown oxidisation that otherwise takes time to develop in the environment. Nordic Green and Nordic Blue factory-applied patinas are also available – developed with properties and colours based on the same brochantite mineralogy found in natural patinas all over the world.
Here, the process can be accurately controlled so that, as well as the solid blue or green patina colours, other intensities of patina flecks can be created revealing some of the dark oxidised background material giving a ‘living’ surface.
Copper alloys from Aurubis include Nordic Brass which is now also available pre-weathered, Nordic Bronze and the innovative Nordic Royal, an alloy with a long-lasting golden colour. Aurubis Architectural is part of the world’s leading integrated copper group and largest copper recycler. Although the copper industry is well known for recycling, Aurubis’ architectural range is exceptional with 97 % coming from recycled material over the last few years.
