Will It Survive Outside? — The Outdoor Copper Answer
Every patio customer asks the same question: will it survive outside?
Yes. Copper is one of the most weather-resistant metals available — the metal of outdoor architecture, the material of the great outdoor installations of history. The Statue of Liberty is copper. The roofs of the great cathedrals are copper. The gutters and downpipes of the finest homes are copper. Copper has been used outdoors for thousands of years — and it survives.
Natuross outdoor copper panels are specifically prepared for outdoor installation — the UV-resistant, weather-resistant lacquer finish, the sealed aluminum composite backing, the outdoor-specific installation method. Every outdoor installation is discussed before production — the orientation, the sun exposure, the rain exposure, the expected patina. There are no surprises.
The copper panel on a patio wall does not just survive the outdoor environment. It thrives in it — the surface developing a natural patina with the seasons, the installation becoming more beautiful with every year.

"The botanical feature wall panel changed the entire patio. The copper against the garden — the warm metal in the outdoor room — makes the patio feel as considered as the indoor rooms it connects to. Every evening outside feels different when the room feels designed. The patina is developing beautifully with the seasons — the copper becoming more beautiful with every year." — Natuross customer
