copper sheets

Thin bronze-colored material

Copper sheets are flat, thin pieces of copper metal, typically sold in standardized dimensions and thicknesses.

They're used in roofing, electrical applications, crafts, and metalworking.

The material develops a distinctive green patina when exposed to weather over time: The old courthouse dome was clad in copper sheets that had turned verdigris with age.
