Q - Can any of the awnings or other products be custom made in a different size or material?
A - Yes. We are a sheet metal fabricator and can manufacture any product from a different metal, give it a unique finish or customize if for any size or application.
Q - Why does copper turn green?
A - When exposed to the outdoor elements copper will change colors over time as it develops a "patinia" or protective covering. This process is completely natural and takes many years for the colors to change from the shiny brown of new color to the unique green of older copper.
