Phases
The Aged Beauty of Copper Aluminium Sheets in Building Facades
In our pursuit of innovation and elevating your cladding aspirations, we introduce Copper Aluminium Sheets, known as “Phases”—a seamless blend of timeless elegance and structural durability.
When used for facades, both interior and exterior, this material is referred to as Copper Cladding. It merges the natural beauty of copper with durability, flatness, ease of fabrication, and the rich array of shades that Viva Metal Composite Products are renowned for.
With the combined advantages of copper and composite panels, these sheets offer unparalleled creative freedom to architects and designers.
Understanding the Composition of Copper Aluminium Panels
A Copper Composite Panel is a sophisticated building material featuring a top layer of copper and a bottom layer of aluminium.
Its structure incorporates:
A thin thermoplastic core for the non-fire-retardant panel
A mineral core for the fire-retardant panel
This composition makes it an ideal choice for interior and exterior wall cladding, column cladding, and retail branding.
The Virtues of Copper Cladding
The history of copper as a facade material is linked to its durability, corrosion resistance, appearance, and ability to form complex shapes. We have embedded these qualities into our Copper Composite Panel. Let’s explore the virtues of copper cladding:
Versatile & Melleable
Inherent Colour Transformation
Eco-Certified
Sustainable
High Recyclability
Fire-Proof
Minimal Upkeep
Anti-Bacterial
Long-Lasting Performance
The Aging Process of Copper Cladding
Exposure to rain, sunlight, and humidity initiates a natural weathering process known as Patina Formation, gradually changing the color of the panels over time. This transformation not only enhances the aesthetics but also strengthens the material’s durability.
01 | The Initial Radiance
Freshly manufactured copper sheets have a striking red-orange hue with a glossy finish, reflecting the vibrancy of their environment.
02 | The Metamorphosis
As copper interacts with air, it undergoes oxidation, a natural process where copper (Cu) reacts with oxygen molecules.
This initiates a transformation, transitioning the material into rustic shades of brown and red, adding character and depth.
03 | The Hues of Patina
With time, oxidation progresses, shifting the red-orange tones to shades of green—a phenomenon known as Patina Formation.
This evolving color palette captures the unique beauty of copper and symbolizes its enduring strength.
