COPPER

Copper — the name alone inculcates on one's mind a
metal of almost everlasting durableness — a
metal that has been in common use among the
more civilized nations since the earliest dawn
of history.

Copper — a metal that is impervious to the actions of
the elements — a metal whose appearance im-
proves with its years of service.

What could add more to the value and attractive-
ness of a building than a Copper Shingle or
Spanish Tile roof in its aged color?

Copper — the name alone inculcates on one's mind a
metal of almost everlasting durableness — a
metal that has been in common use among the
more civilized nations since the earliest dawn
of history.

Coppe?~ — a metal that is impervious to the actions of
the elements — a metal whose appearance im-
proves with its years of service.

What could add more to the value and attractive-
ness of a building than a Copper Shingle or
Spanish Tile roof in its aged color?

HE use of Copper for roofing has been
| restricted by the assumption that on
account of its cost, being higher than
that of numerous other materials used
for roofing, a copper roof was practically a luxury
and too expensive for ordinary use. That copper
is the ideal roof covering from every view-point
has always been recognized.

Careful and exhaustive investigation has
proved that copper of the highest grade converted
into a properly constructed Shingle or Tile can
be made available to the Home Builder at a cost,
in many cases, less than that for slate or clay-tile.
To consummate this result has been the aim of
two experienced and reliable factors:

Detroit Copper & Brass Rolling Mills,
Detroit, Michigan,

for upwards of forty years one of the largest and
most prominent manufacturers of Sheet Copper,
produce and furnish sheets of the most suitable
character from copper of the highest grades
procurable, thus insuring metal of the finest
quality.

The Edwards Manufacturing Company,
Cincinnati, Ohio,

one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of
Sheet Metal Roofing, convert this sheet cop-
per into varied designs of Shingles and Tile,
none of which are experimental; designs which
are properly constructed in every respect and
are known and have been in use and stood the
test for many years, giving entire satisfaction
and living up to every claim advanced for them,
Contrary to general belief/copper is not
expensive. It may appear expensive if the firsi
cost be the only consideration. Measuring 1

cost per years of service it is the cheapest of all
roof coverings. The initial cost is naturally
higher than that of some other materials used
for roofing, but the first cost is the only cost
of a roof of "Edwards" Patented Interlocking
Copper Shingles and Copper Tile. There are
no up-keep costs, no repairing, painting or
replacing. The elements have no effect upon
them only changing their color to a beautiful
copperas green. They add distinction to any
structure with a charm and beauty that endures.
This roof will outlast the structure it beautifies
and protects.

It is worthy of comment that when the
structure is finally razed the copper roof will
have a salvage value of in the neighborhood of
one-third of its cost.

In offering our Shingles and Spanish Tiles of
Copper we place within your reach the longest-
lasting as well as most attractive appearing roof
covering of the present day, they being suitable
for any type of building that has roof pitch of
one-fourth or greater.

Owing to their moderate weight, which ranges
from 80 to 175 pounds to the square, dependent
on the style, no special construction nor roof-
bracing is required.

Their application is very simple and
surprisingly rapid. Each Shingle and Spanish
Tile is equipped with an interlocking device,
which device provides for the expansion and
contraction of the metal during climatic changes,
for the covering of the nails and nail holes and
reduces the cost of application to a minimum.

To harmonize with the Shingles and Spanish
Tile we manufacture suitable trimmings which
help considerably in adding to the beauty of the
roof, and their use is recommended.

REALIZING THE NEED FOR SHINGLES WITH DESIGNS TO CONFORM WITH THE VARIOUS ORDERS

OF ARCHITECTURE WE MANUFACTURE A WIDE SELECTION OF PATTERNS WHICH PERMIT OF

AN EVERLASTING COPPER SHINGLE ROOF ON A BUILDING OF ANY PERIOD.

a

Roman' Copper Shingles

Size 10 x 14 inches

Here is a decided novelty — a
pattern that will enhance the
appearance of any building.

As its name implies, tiles of
this pattern helped to make the
Roman villages of twenty cen-
turies ago the marvels of beauty
that they were.

The deep depressions of the
design form a large dead air
space under each shingle, more
effectually keeping out the heat
of summer and the cold of
winter.

The Edwards Interlocking
Device makes joints at both
ends and sides so firm and secure
that water positively can not
work in and wind can not work
them loose.

A COPPER SHINGLE OR SPANISH TILE ROOF IS AN INVESTMENT AND NOT AN EXPENSE.

"French Slate" Copper Shingles

Size 10 x 14 inches

^^^B

f 1

■WHbm

A roof of "FRENCH
SLATE" copper shingles will
lend charm and dignity to any
dwelling.

The design was modelled by
our artist after a careful study of
roofs in France and other Euro-
pean countries.

There is only one kind of a
roof that will endure indefinitely
and this one kind is copper
which endurance with pleasing
appearance makes our
"FRENCH SLATE" Copper
shingles a very popular roof
covering.

Our ornamental fixtures such
as ridge and hip finish and finials
harmonize very well with this
pattern.

A ROOF OF COPPER SHINGLES OR SPANISH TILE WILL LOWER THE COST OF INSURANCE.

a

Queen Anne" Copper Shingles

Size 10 x 14 inches

The chaste beauty of this de-
sign makes the "QUEEN
ANNE" design shingle roof one
of eye-catching charm.

The embossing is deep and
clean cut, producing, when laid,
a very striking effect.

This deep embossing also al-
lows free circulation of the air,
which is a great aid in keeping
the roof cool in summer.

An Edwards Copper shingle
roof is the cheapest roof cover-
ing — measuring the cost per
years of service. Replacements
are never necessary for they
cannot freeze nor crack and will
outlast the building to which
they are applied.

COPPER SHINGLES AND SPANISH TILE ARE ABSOLUTELY FIRE-PROOF.

a

Rookwood" Copper Shingles

Size 10 x 14 inches

_ The "ROOKWOOD" is quite
similar in design to the "Queen
Anne" Shingle and we recom-
mend either pattern where orna-
mentation or a fine architectural
effect is desired.

The roof is an important de-
termining factor in the beauty of
a home and therefore deserves
every consideration, for an un-
attractive roof on an otherwise
fine looking house mars the en-
tire effect.

On the other hand, oftentimes,
an attractive roof is the making
of some of our medium priced
houses whose lines otherwise
would be so plain as to become
monotonous to the eye.

Our "ROOKWOOD" shingles
are very much in demand on
buildings of the Colonial period
as they are in keeping with this
order.

Spanish Tile of Copper

Just glance at the above picture and see if you do not agree that it would be
exceedingly difficult, if not, indeed, impossible, to construct a more beautiful, more
artistic roof than this. Notice how sharply the moulding of each individual tile
is defined and how harmoniously the entire roof blends with the general outlines
of the building.

The history of the Spanish Tile is an interesting one. Centuries ago when
the Moors were driven out of Spain they left behind them the art of making beau-
tiful earthenware roofing tiles that lend such charm to many of the ancient build-
ings still standing in that historic country.

Thousands of people have admired these decorative, harmonious earthenware
Spanish Tiles, and wished to have their roofs similarly covered, but on account
of their evident disadvantages have chosen a more practicable, though less beau-
tiful, style of roof.

Their great weight, liability to breakage and displacement, with consequent
leakage, and their high cost have kept them from common use.

We have produced in COPPER an exact reproduction of these beautiful
Spanish Tiles and can furnish them at much less cost than the earthenware tiles.
This enables you to enjoy all the beauty, ornament and advantages, without
danger and disadvantages, and at a strikingly low cost.

IN OUR SPANISH TILES OF COPPER THE BEAUTIFYING POWERS OF THE MOORS HAVE BECOME
THE PROPERTY OF THE PRACTICAL TWENTIETH CENTURY.

Each piece of Tile, as well as every fixture, is an exact piece of workmanship
and absolutely perfect, so that the application of a SPANISH TILE ROOF
OF COPPER is very simple, and, when completed, positively watertight.

"PERFECT" VALLEY
For Tile Roofs

The particular advantage in
using this style valley is that
the bead acts as a gutter for any
water that might possibly back
up under the tile and carries off
same into gutter at eaves,
thereby insuring you a perfect
watertight roof. This is why
we call it the "Perfect" Valley.

Method of Locking Valley Tile

into Valley.

Valleys as a rule are difficult to cut, but
by using our right and left valley tile, and
cutting along dotted line (see illustration)
and bending tile into the lock of our "Perfect"
Valley, this difficulty is done away with.

Directions for Applying Spanish Tile of Copper

Line roof up and down and crosswise as shown above, keeping perpendicular lines at right angles
with eave line.

Commence starting course at extreme left of roof, keeping bottom of tile true to eave line and
true to perpendicular lines.

Do not let tile project over eaves. Lay
next course lapping over first course, just enough
to cover storm ribs on upper part of tile.

Put 2x4 strips on hips and ridge and
cut tiles to butt up against 2x4.
Then apply the hip or ridge flashing
to which the hip and ridge tile are
fastened with cleats. In working
valleys, see that closed ends are
kept in line, then lock your field
tile to valley tile;
that is, in starting.

In finishing, lock
your valley tile to the
field tile, watching to
keep closed ends in
line.
