Copper is a high stability, low maintenance of roofing and curtain wall materials, environmentally friendly, safe to use, easy to process and highly corrosion resistance. Copper yield strength and elongation is inversely proportional to the bending of the copper plate increased the hardness, but can be reduced by heat treatment. Among all architectural metal materials, copper has the best extension properties and has great advantages in terms of adapting to architectural shapes.

Busbars are generally made from either copper or aluminum. For a complete list of mechanical properties and compositions of copper used for busbars, see BS EN 13601: 2013 Copper rod, bar and wire for electrical purposes. Table 1 below gives a comparison of some electrical and mechanical properties. It can be seen that for conductivity and strength, high conductivity (HC) copper is far superior to aluminum.
