Copper has been used since ancient times for a water-proof roofing material, giving many rooftops and domes their greenish hue known as patina. Patina is highly resistant to corrosion and is very attractive. For those who prefer the shiny, new copper look, there are treatments that will preserve it. Copper makes great rain gutters and spouts in addition to roofing. It can also be used as a decorative element inside a residence and/or building.
