COPPER DORMERS

Do you know the history of copper dormers? A term dormer comes from the French word “dormir” to sleep. Different types of dormers complemented different styles of architecture;  like churches, cathedrals, or any traditional architectural styles for centuries. Copper material played an important role in interior and exterior designs for centuries, especially for its durability, corrosion resistance and ability to be formed to any shape. Over time, copper dormers became an architectural accent to any struture. 

The first window copper dormers were found in French architecture in the 16th century and are supposed to give an attic space, light, and a useful purpose. The earlier purpose of dormers was to provide ventilation to the roof structure, for example in gothic churches and cathedrals. Over time, several types of dormers were invented like arched dormers, eyebrow, gabled, shed, segmental, louver dormers, ornamental dormers, etc. and created the art of those architectural complex. 

 

COPPER DORMER FABRICATION

PJ Metal Craft craftsman mostly fabricate dormers out of 16 or 20 oz copper but copper material is also used for many other architectural elements as leader’s heads, gutters, finials, cupolas, or weathervanes. Copper material is used by roofing, guttering, downspouts on many buildings especially for its durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions for many years. 

Copper dormers are unique works of art that increase the value and functionality of any architectural structure for centuries. In today’s architecture, round or oval window dormers not only allow daylight in the room but also provide elegance and unique characteristics to many structures and complement any architectural design. Dormers with a louver add ventilation and enhance functionality and beauty to any building.

PROTECTIVE LAQUER OR A LAYER OR PATINA FOR COPPER DORMERS

Are you concerned about copper material oxidization and aging process? PJ Metal Craft offers a clear coat of protective lacquer or a layer of patina. Protective lacquer protests copper material against corrosion and oxidation. A layer of patina creates an aging look and speeds up the natural discoloration.  A protective coating is one part that will make metal products last longer, look better, and prevent fading and oxidizing as well as damage from UV rays.

Copper material changes color over time. The natural changes that happen to copper products make them unique and it’s hard to replicate. Copper oxidation is a long process and patina forms on copper because of a chemical reaction. The environment is one of the several factors that play an important role in forming patina because patina in copper can vary so much and the presence of certain compounds can affect if the patina turns into green or blue tones and all those factors need to be considered before placing an order for copper dormer fabrication.
