Description

Copper Sheet

Our Natural copper sheet is 99.9% pure copper, it has an excellent appearance and is good for cold working, fabrication, welding, and soldering.

High Quality Copper Offcuts

For bending, grade C106 is a little easier than grade C101 which is a little springier.

Copper Offcuts thicknesses up to say 0.9mm can be cut by hand with tin snips.

If you want to make beaten copper, then choosing a thickness 0.7mm or below would be the best option.

We sell a lead-free tin/silver pre-fluxed solder that is excellent for use with copper.

Our C106 natural copper sheet can also be used as anodes for copper plating.

One face of the copper sheet has a protective film to help reduce scuffs and scratches during handling and working. The reverse face can have some scuffing, this is caused during the cutting process where large sheets are slid into a mechanical guillotine. The plastic film should peel away easily to show the actual metal, occasionally there can be scuffs under the plastic film, but we endeavour to ensure this is minimal by handling full size sheets from pallet to film coater as carefully as possible.

Scuffs and scratches can be removed after working using an orbital sander with scotchbrite style conditioning pads, there are many grades of pad to choose from.

Stock Grades and Sizes

We stock two grades of natural copper sheet, C106 and C101. The thickness will determine the grade. C101 is 2.0mm and 3.0mm thick. C106 is 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm 1.2mm and 1.5mm thick

We have stock sheet sizes up to 3000mm x 1000mm and 8ft x 4ft (2438mm x 1219mm) and we also offer Custom sizes, CNC Shape Cutting, Fabrication, Welding, Bronzed and Aged Patina application on this product. Grade C106 copper is a general-purpose copper, it is a phosphorus-deoxidised copper.

The natural colour of copper sheet can vary a little between batches and between manufacturers, this is normal, left uncoated indoors and open to the air copper will naturally go darker in colour due to moisture and oxygen,  this process speeds up if the copper is outdoors changing through shades of brown towards black then finally after maybe 10 years it will turn green, this is the Verdigris you see on old buildings with copper features.

Copper is a living metal, it reacts with its surroundings, it has great character and appeal.

Copper, aside from silver is the only naturally occurring metal that is naturally antimicrobial in nature. Viruses and bacteria cannot live on a clean copper surface, this includes Covid, MRSA and many other problematic microbes.
