I have some copper details. It turns green in a patina. If it’s green but has ANY orange areas, it’s burning out.
Some pix of one I removed. Those tiny slits along th eshingle or slate edge are hard to see until you pull them out.
Kenton, I will have some great pictures by next week of a standing seam roof with failures.
Including, using electrical conduit for snow guards. They installed them using homemade straps out of coil stock attached with sheet metal screws.
That’s great Peter, I’d love to have copies, especially if you can get some in higher resolution. It’s really tough to find metal roofs here. Most are on commercial buidings and are in pretty good shape.
