Key Qualities of 3mm Copper Sheet

3mm copper sheets are packed with outstanding properties that make it highly sought after across different sectors:

• • Striking Appearance – With its rich reddish-brown hue, copper is one of the most visually appealing metals. Over time, it develops a green-blue verdigris patina, enhancing its character while protecting it from corrosion.
• • Corrosion Resistance – Copper forms a natural oxide layer that prevents deterioration. This patina does not weaken the metal but instead preserves its strength and longevity.
• • Noble Metal Properties – As a noble metal, copper is naturally resistant to most corrosive elements, ensuring durability even in harsh environments.
• • Excellent Conductivity – Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity, making it indispensable for electrical and thermal applications.
• • Malleability and Workability – The softness of copper allows for easy shaping, cutting, and fabrication, making it ideal for cold working, welding, and soldering.
• • Long Lifespan – Thanks to its resistance to weathering and corrosion, copper can last for centuries, making it a cost-effective, long-term material choice.
• • Natural Antimicrobial Material – Copper has powerful antibacterial properties, making it suitable for use in hygienic environments such as kitchens and healthcare settings.

It’s a small but important way to protect the building and its doors from damage.

How to use metal kick plates

Metal kick plates can be attached to the bottom of a door to enable hands-free opening with feet or allow doors to be opened with material handling equipment like dollies and trolleys. These are ideal for businesses or institutions where doors tend to get marked or damaged. They are also suitable for use in the home. The metal plates absorb the brunt of the impact, extending the lifespan of your doors and reducing the need for repairs or repainting. These kick plates are also easy to clean compared to challenging scuffs, scratches or dents in doors. All you need to do is prepare the surface of the door, drill holes in the kick plate where required and screw it into place. You can also bond them onto the door with a strong adhesive if you prefer.
