The deck is the outdoor room where the family relaxes — the summer living space, the barbecue room, the evening gathering place. The copper piece that makes the outdoor living space feel as considered as the indoor rooms it connects to — without making it feel formal.

The Copper Argument for the Deck
The deck is a fully exposed outdoor environment — the direct sun, the rain, the frost, the seasonal temperature changes of the outdoor living space. The copper panel on a deck must survive all of it.
Copper is weather-resistant. The UV-resistant, weather-resistant outdoor lacquer finish on Natuross deck copper panels resists the full outdoor exposure of the deck environment — the direct sun, the rain, the frost, the seasonal temperature changes.
Copper is warm. The warm tone of copper suits the relaxed, natural aesthetic of the deck — the warm metal against the timber of the deck, the hammered surface catching the summer light. Copper is the material that belongs on the deck the way timber belongs underfoot — the warm material in the warm outdoor space.
Copper develops a natural patina outdoors. The outdoor environment of the deck — the direct sun, the rain, the seasonal changes — accelerates the natural patina development of copper. The copper panel on a deck becomes more beautiful over time — the surface developing with the seasons, the installation aging with the outdoor living space it inhabits.

"The botanical feature wall panel and the family name sign changed the entire deck. Every summer evening outside, the copper makes the outdoor living space feel as considered as the indoor rooms it connects to — the warm metal in the summer light, the hammered surface alive with the evening. The deck went from a timber platform to the room the family lives in all summer. The copper made it feel like home." — Natuross customer
