Overview
What Is Interlock® Solid Copper Shake Roofing?
Interlock® Solid Copper Shake Roofing is the deep hand-split texture and architectural relief of heavy cedar shake, executed in 99.9% pure electrolytic tough-pitch copper (Copper Alloy C11000) conforming to ASTM B370 — the recognized North American standard for cold-rolled architectural copper sheet. The 4 ft panel format with six shake impressions per course (¾" to 1⅜" relief height) matches Interlock's aluminum Metal Shake panel geometry for visual continuity with lodge, mountain, ranch, and rustic estate architecture — in a substrate engineered to outlast the building itself.
Color is intrinsic to the metal — no PVDF coating, granule layer, or applied finish to fail (unlike the real cedar shake this profile emulates, which is prone to rot, splitting, mold, and ember-ignition within 20–40 years). Newly installed Copper Shake panels arrive bright salmon-pink and typically progress through natural oxidation — russet bronze (cuprite, Cu₂O), matte chocolate brown (tenorite, CuO), and ultimately the iconic verdigris green-blue patina, a copper-sulfate/hydroxysulfate layer of brochantite, antlerite, and posnjakite that forms copper's natural weathered surface. Because patina develops with atmospheric exposure, its rate and uniformity vary from roof to roof and are not guaranteed. The same metallurgical process has weathered copper-roofed lodge, civic, and ecclesiastical architecture across North America and Europe for centuries.
Why Lodge, Mountain, and Ranch Architecture Demands Solid Copper Shake
At approximately 115–140 lbs per square (the deeper shake profile carries slightly more material than smoother profiles), structural assessment is recommended for retrofit applications. Solid copper carries an inherent Class A fire rating (copper melts at 1,984°F) — a critical safety advantage in wildfire-zone applications where real cedar shake's Class C untreated rating is a defining vulnerability. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance, ASTM E1592 wind-uplift performance, specified under CSI MasterFormat 07 41 13, conforming to IBC §1507.4 and IRC §R905.10. Solar-array compatible, 100% recyclable at end of service, and backed by the Interlock® Lifetime Transferable Warranty.

Why Solid Copper Roofing Outperforms Every Alternative
Interlock Copper Roofing panels are crafted from solid, unalloyed architectural copper — one of the oldest and most revered roofing materials in recorded history. Unlike aluminum or steel roofing systems, copper requires no applied coating system. Its protection is inherent to the material itself. Available in 16 oz and 20 oz gauges, Interlock copper panels arrive in their characteristic bright warm tone and develop a living verdigris patina over 30 to 35 years of natural weathering. That patina is not deterioration — it is copper’s permanent corrosion barrier, forming a stable protective layer that actively resists moisture, UV radiation, and environmental degradation for centuries. A certified Green Roofing Product and infinitely recyclable, copper carries an inherent Class A fire rating with no chemical treatment required.
Layer 1 — Natural Copper Surface
The outermost surface of every Interlock Copper panel is the copper itself — solid architectural copper with no synthetic coating applied. Unlike PVDF-coated aluminum systems, copper does not require a factory finish. Its natural surface begins forming a stable copper oxide layer within months of installation, progressing over 30 to 35 years to the characteristic verdigris patina recognized as the hallmark of permanent architectural copper worldwide.
Layer 2 — Natural Oxide Formation
Within months of installation, atmospheric oxygen reacts with the copper surface to form copper oxide — a tightly bonded, self-limiting layer that serves as copper’s primary corrosion barrier. Unlike rust on ferrous metals, copper oxide is stable and protective, not destructive. This layer requires no applied primer or factory treatment — it is the natural electrochemical behavior of the material.
Layer 3 — Carbonate Patina Development
Over years of exposure to atmospheric moisture and CO₂, the copper oxide layer continues to evolve into copper carbonate compounds — the source of the distinctive blue-green verdigris patina. This patina layer is chemically stable, self-sealing, and has been documented to provide continuous corrosion protection for centuries on landmark buildings worldwide. It requires no maintenance, no reapplication, and no chemical treatment.
Layer 4 — Mill Precision Finishing
Before forming, each Interlock copper panel is sourced from mill-finished architectural copper sheet — produced to tight dimensional tolerances with a clean, consistent surface free from surface defects. Mill quality directly determines the uniformity of patina development across the installed roof surface. Interlock specifies architectural-grade copper to ensure even, aesthetically consistent weathering across every panel.
Layer 5 — Solid Copper Substrate
The structural foundation of every Interlock Copper panel is solid architectural copper — available in 16 oz (~100 lbs per square) and 20 oz (~125 lbs per square) gauges. Copper is a naturally pure, non-ferrous metal with inherent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and structural integrity that requires no alloying additives or synthetic reinforcement. Its performance has been validated across centuries of architectural roofing applications on some of the world’s most recognized structures.
Layer 6 — Natural Rear Surface
Interlock Copper panels require no synthetic back coat. Solid copper is inherently non-reactive, non-ferrous, and corrosion-resistant on all exposed surfaces — including the underside. The natural copper rear face provides the same material integrity as the exterior surface, with no risk of galvanic corrosion, moisture infiltration, or coating delamination.

Available Colors
Patina Evolution — The Living Finish
Interlock® Solid Copper Shake is offered as a single architectural specification rather than a color palette — because copper is not a finish applied to a substrate; it *is* the substrate. Every panel is roll-formed from 99.9% pure electrolytic tough-pitch copper (Copper Alloy C11000, ASTM B370). Color is intrinsic to the metal: there is no paint film, PVDF resin, stone granule, or organic binder to chalk, fade, peel, delaminate, or fail by UV exposure. What replaces a fixed color is a documented oxidation sequence — the same self-passivating chemistry that has preserved the cladding of the Statue of Liberty (1886), the U.S. Capitol Dome (1863), Christ Church Philadelphia (1727), and copper-roofed lodge, civic, and ecclesiastical architecture across North America and Europe in continuous service for centuries. New Interlock® Solid Copper Shake arrives bright salmon-pink and progresses through measurable stages: russet bronze within weeks as cuprite (Cu₂O) forms; matte chocolate-brown tenorite (CuO) across one to three years; and ultimately the iconic verdigris green-blue — a stable copper-sulfate/hydroxysulfate stratum of brochantite (Cu₄SO₄(OH)₆), antlerite (Cu₃SO₄(OH)₄), and posnjakite (Cu₄SO₄(OH)₆·H₂O) that becomes the roof's own mineral protective barrier. Patina is not deterioration — it is the engineered service life of the material expressing itself. Because copper is a single specification, not a palette, Interlock provides physical material samples rather than printed swatch cards. Contact your local Interlock dealer to request a solid-copper sample and the full architectural specification sheet.

Customer Reviews
What Homeowners Say About Interlock Metal Roofing
★★★★★This is the 3rd roof I have had put on by Interlock Roofing. I put one on my original house, my cottage, and now my new house. They have always done an excellent job, and the aluminum shingles are a great product — light, sturdy, and good-looking, even years down the road.
★★★★★We had our roof replaced in 2017 with an aluminum roof by Interlock Metal Roofing. We live on the lake, and prior to the replacement, we were spending thousands of dollars every year as the shingles used to fly away in the wind. We have never had any problems in the last 9 years. We had a great experience with Interlock Metal Roofing. They were very professional and did a beautiful job, although it was difficult as our roof is quite high. Our roof is still beautiful, and we have never had a worry about it.
★★★★★I LOVE MY INTERLOCK ROOF! No more climbing up there to clean it off, no more gritty stuff falling into my garden after a few years. It looks fabulous and does what it's supposed to! And then there are the installers: knowledgeable, attentive to detail, and personable. Ivan is a gem! He attended to the addition of a small bit of flashing efficiently and cleaned the whole roof with a blower in short order. After almost ten years, it's STILL the only roof I would choose!
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Solid Copper Shake Roofing
Common questions about Interlock® Solid Copper Shake Roofing — covering material specifications, patina evolution, wildfire-zone code conformance, and how solid copper shake compares to real hand-split cedar shake for lodge, mountain, ranch, and rustic estate residential architecture.
What is Interlock® Solid Copper Shake Roofing?
Interlock® Solid Copper Shake Roofing is the deep hand-split texture of heavy cedar shake executed in 99.9% pure electrolytic tough-pitch copper (Copper Alloy C11000) conforming to ASTM B370. Panel geometry: 4 ft panels with six shake impressions per course at ¾" to 1⅜" relief height, on the four-way interlocking concealed-fastener system. The substrate is solid copper, not coated aluminum or copper-plated steel. Every panel is backed by the Interlock® Lifetime Transferable Warranty applied to a material with documented multi-century service life.
Does copper shake have the same depth as real hand-split cedar shake?
Yes — the relief profile is engineered to match heavy hand-split cedar shake at ¾" to 1⅜" relief height across the 4 ft panel with six shake impressions per course. This is among the deepest residential metal roofing profiles available, designed to read authentically on lodge, mountain estate, and ranch architecture where shake depth is a defining architectural element. The deep relief carries more material than smoother profiles, which is why Copper Shake's installed weight (~115–140 lbs/sq) is slightly higher than other Interlock copper profiles.
Will copper shake meet wildfire-zone building codes?
Yes — and this is one of solid copper shake's defining advantages over real cedar shake. Real cedar shake is Class C untreated under ASTM E108 fire testing, a critical liability in wildfire-zone applications. Solid copper is inherently non-combustible per ASTM E136 (melting point 1,984°F), achieving Class A under ASTM E108 / UL 790 by virtue of the material itself. This satisfies wildfire-zone roofing requirements under the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC), California Chapter 7A, Colorado Class 4 wildfire-zone designation, and similar codes — where untreated cedar shake is prohibited.
How does copper shake handle heavy snow loads on mountain homes?
Solid copper has the structural strength and thermal stability to handle heavy snow loads, ice damming, and freeze-thaw cycling without fracture or distortion — a defining performance advantage over real cedar shake (which splits and curls under freeze-thaw) and natural slate (which fractures under impact loading). The four-way interlocking installation system distributes load across the panel field rather than at individual fastener points. Snow guard and ice management systems are compatible with the copper shake panel — specify per project, and your Interlock dealer will detail the assembly.
How long does copper shake last vs. real cedar shake?
Real cedar shake lasts 20–40 years before requiring replacement due to rot, splitting, ember-ignition vulnerability, and freeze-thaw degradation. Solid copper shake is documented at 100–200+ years of continuous service. Over a 50-year ownership window, a real shake roof requires one to two full replacement cycles plus ongoing treatment; a solid copper installation is installed once and never replaced — it develops a patina that is the material's protective system, not a degradation toward replacement.
Is copper shake too heavy for a mountain home's existing roof framing?
Rarely. At approximately 115–140 lbs per square (the deeper shake profile carries slightly more material than smoother Interlock copper profiles), Copper Shake is well within the load-bearing capacity of standard mountain residential framing — which is typically engineered for heavy snow loads exceeding 40 psf live load. Structural assessment is recommended for retrofit, but reinforcement is rarely required. Real cedar shake assemblies weigh 200–350 lbs/sq when waterlogged, so transitioning to copper actually reduces structural load.
Can copper shake be specified for a lodge or commercial application?
Yes — solid copper shake is appropriate for high-end residential, commercial lodge, hospitality, and institutional applications. The material specification (C11000, ASTM B370) and installation system (concealed-fastener four-way interlocking) are commercial-grade. CSI MasterFormat 07 41 13 (Metal Roof Panels) is the appropriate specification section for architectural project submittals. Lifetime Transferable Warranty applies. Contact your regional Interlock representative for commercial project consultation.
How does the patina look on a rustic or lodge-style home?
The patina evolution complements rustic and lodge-style architecture exceptionally well. The early salmon-pink and russet-bronze stages read as warm and natural against timber, stone, and rustic-finished exterior materials. The mature chocolate-brown CuO stage (years 1–3) reads as deep, weathered, and harmonious with traditional lodge aesthetics. The eventual verdigris stage develops over decades and reads as architecturally distinctive without being incongruous on rustic buildings. For projects requiring a specific patina stage at completion, patina-accelerant solutions are available.
What's the cost difference between copper shake and real wood shake over time?
Upfront, solid copper shake carries a higher initial cost than real cedar shake. Over a 50-year ownership window the math reverses: real cedar shake requires periodic chemical treatment (every 3–7 years), individual shake replacement as splits develop, full re-roofing every 20–40 years, mandatory non-combustible replacement in fire-zone retrofits, and (in many lodge applications) escalating insurance premiums tied to wildfire risk. Solid copper is installed once, never replaced, and qualifies for Class A fire and Class 4 hail insurance credits. The 50-year total cost of ownership reliably favors copper.
Does copper shake work with snow guards and ice management systems?
Yes. Solid copper shake is compatible with snow guard arrays, ice belts, and heat-trace ice management systems. Snow guards and accessories are specified in stainless steel or copper to prevent galvanic corrosion at the contact point. The deep shake profile naturally retains snow longer than smoother roofing profiles — in heavy-snow climates, snow guard placement and density are detailed by the Interlock-certified installer as part of project specification. Contact your regional Interlock representative for snow management consultation on mountain projects.
