Aurubis is the largest producer of copper in Europe, with over 140 years experience, and is a world leader in copper recycling. The name Aurubis is based on the Latin for 'red gold' - reflecting the outstanding importance of copper since civilisation began. Aurubis Architectural is a division of the company resulting from the purchase in 2011 of Luvata Rolled Products, formerly Outokumpu - which started producing copper products for roofs, facades and other applications in 1940. Aurubis Architectural is committed to developing this long heritage in copper architecture and its Nordic brands,...

AURUBIS COPPER

Copper Surfaces The natural development of copper patina is one of copper's unique Within a few days of exposure to the atmosphere, the surface of Nordic Standard copper begins to oxidise, changing its colour from the 'bright' mill finish to a chestnut brown which gradually darkens over several years to a chocolate brown. Continued weathering can then result in development of the distinctive green patina - or blue in coastal locations. This process is an expression of the metal's propensity to revert to mineral compounds that resemble the ore from which it originally came. The patina film...

Nordic Standard Nordic Standard - mill finish copper Nordic Standard is mill finish copper without any additional surface treatments carried out in the factory. It has the traditional 'bright' finish that will develop and change in the environment, as described earlier. Nordic Standard is available in sheets or coils. AURUBIS ARCHITECTURAL

Nordic Brown™ Light Nordic Brown" Nordic Brown - pre-oxidised copper Nordic Brown™ products are pre-oxidised at Aurubis' factory to give straightaway the same oxidised brown surface that otherwise develops over time in the environment. The thickness of the oxide layer determines the colour: both Nordic Brown™ Light and the darker Nordic Brown™ versions are Nordic Brown™ products are useful to minimise hand and other construction marks which can occur for a short time after installation with 'bright' standard copper. But light and dark versions can also be combined - perhaps with other...

NORDIC SURFACES Mineral based green The most common compound found in natural patinas all over the world is the copper sulphate mineral brochantite. Aurubis' factory-applied patinas have been developed with properties and colours based on the same brochantite mineralogy. Brochantite is a light blue colour but in many locations impurities and other components in the air add a yellow tint to give the naturally developed patina a green hue. In the same way, Nordic Green™ is produced with a hint of iron sulphate yellow component added to the blue copper sulphate, replicating the natural green....

Nordic Blue™ Nordic Blue™ Nordic Blue' Living 1 Living 2 Traditional Nordic Blue - pre-patinated copper Nordic Blue™ products offer designers unparalleled design freedom and the ability to determine the type and intensity of blue patina for each project with choices of'Living' surfaces. In a carefully controlled, factory process, pre-oxidised copper is treated with specifically formulated copper compounds to create the desired patina colours and heat-treated to chemically bind them to the copper. The factory process can be accurately controlled so that, as well as the solid blue patina...

Nordic Royal - copper alloy Nordic Royal™ is an alloy of copper with aluminium and zinc, giving it a rich golden through-colour and making it very stable. It has a thin protective oxide layer containing all three alloy elements when produced. As a result, the surface retains its golden colour and simply loses some of its sheen as the oxide layer thickens with exposure to the atmosphere to give a matt finish. It behaves differently to other Aurubis copper products over time and does not develop a blue or green patina. Nordic Royal™ alloy is available in sheets or coils. AURUBIS ARCHITECTURAL

Nordic Decor Textured Nordic Decor™ provides a rustic, grainy surface texture embossed onto one face of copper sheets or coils. As well as providing visual interest close- up, it disguises hand marks and other blemishes, particularly when used internally (where oxidisation and patination may not occur). Nordic Decor™ is available in sheets or coils. Nordic Decor™ is available in the full range of Nordic Surfaces. Profiled Sheets Aurubis offers an extensive choice of roll-formed or welded profiled sheets in the full range of Nordic Surfaces: full technical details are available on the...

Other Architectural Elements Today's designers continue to explore new areas where copper's unique characteristics can influence architectural expression. Aurubis responds by working closely with our specialist partners on new systems and products to meet designer's specific needs. For example, slatted and louvred facade systems add another architectural dimension, providing solar shading and privacy while retaining transparency. Interior Elements Aurubis' growing palette of surfaces, forms and systems inspires designers to use copper inside, as well as on the exterior surfaces of...
