Copper garage doors are not your everyday garage door type. But as their beauty and durability become more noticeable across the United States, more homeowners are choosing this beautiful, rustic garage door material. Copper is one of the most resourceful and efficient building materials, as it comprises mostly recycled materials (according to the Center for Resourceful Building Technology (CRBT).

Part of copper's amazing longevity is due to its natural patina. Patina is a film on the surface of copper (produced by oxidation over a long period). Patina also refers to accumulated changes in surface texture and color that result over time from normal use of an object like a coin or a piece of furniture. (Source: Wikipedia.com.) See the last image below for an example of the changing color of copper on a garage door.
