" Now we're up on the roof for right next to it rich Melrose here from Newton roofing and we -- talking copper roofing for our little addition. And this is an area that I think is sixteen by 86 or seven so it's a small part of the job right correct. I imagine normally when your -- copper roof it's a real big deal. Usually there's a lot more square footage involved no longer panels like and it's the small roof like this really -- cents. The condition what -- raw material that we're starting with here. Well this is a sixteen ounce panel it's manufactured by a company called -- tests international -- with a member of the metal roofing alliance okay. And up all the for all the pre fabricated panels as well as the accessories are fabricated from sixteen -- shop for. The particular system here is that Dutch -- Well that when you say manufactured it comes in a box and there's lengths of it and they're already have the standing seam kind of break into it that is correct that story okay. And what is the Dutch part of it means the Dutch part simply refers to -- his name for the type of cleat used it's actually integral to the panel all right C or K very get so tell us what's. What's underneath the copper."

" Well there's two layers of underlayment. Directly over top of the wood roof deck is not an ice and water shield which up prevents against ice damming and any. Heavy rains getting in behind the roofing. And on top of it is a slip sheet or resin paper in the simply allows for expansion and contraction of the copper. So why does if it wasn't there would stick to the ocean water in the woods this might wrinkle with so this allows it to slide the installer is actually driving screws in. That's correct that -- clips as you see here they're fabricated out of stainless steel. And other installed anywhere from one foot to two feet on center. And the panels then lock into those clips and that's what holds down actual roofing. And so he's cut them to length. And we have a hip roof which means that we have angles on each one of these. Eve points that's correct we get actually three hips a small -- Iraq in the rear. Atas manufactures a prima prefab hip which gets locked into the panels. And that finishes -- And that's watch a minute as he progresses. So they've cut it precisely to fit down on the ground. And he does have to do any kind of bending or crimping at all here the only bending they have to on the roof no but on the ground we have to run. Bend in the hooks so that it actually hooks into the drip their -- but that's the only only bending necessary."

" Now rich a copper roof is going to last for many many decades but how will it weather. Well over the next two to ten years it'll start to brown and bronze up in color it'll lose the other shiny copper Sheen. Just like a penny that's right that's right after approximately ten years you'll start to Bettina and -- develop that green color and it'll stay that color for the lifetime of the metal. And a lot of this also depends on what part of the country you're in right that's correct depending on humidity. If you're close to the sure it's going to turn green. Quicker. Could -- in the desert."

" All right explain this clip system."

" This is a test is eight passes Dutch cleat system. And this piece would fit integral over the next panel over which would consist of this which is present darkness here."

" All right so rich one last couple of questions -- how long does this take to get it all together. Virtually day and a -- they're working they're so forced by an additional a couple of days and it's a small room. What about the cost cost we're looking at anywhere between 25 and 3500 for the size depending on the copper system."

" Depending on the copper system so -- 500. 3500 -- more than it would cost to do with shingles or asphalt roofing fiberglass roof. Et cetera. But of course the benefits of this product that is going to -- a lot longer. It was fifty years and B it certainly looks like -- an ancient it's gorgeous roof and in some cases it'll last century that's correct thanks a lot."
