Roof-Care Specialist Corners New Markets

A Scottish roof-care specialist is going from strength to strength as it expands its operation through new market sectors and the development of world-wide agents. COPPER RIDGE of Perth have built a UK wide reputation as roof-care experts in the private housing market since they were launched in March last year. They are extending their patented roof-care system "COPPER RIDGE" to publicly owned houses and buildings across the country.

COPPER RIDGE is a unique "n" shaped strip of 99.9% pure copper which is fixed in two metre lengths along the roof edge. Exposure to air and water causes the copper to oxidise, producing a fungicide called Copper Sulphate - a highly effective moss killer.

As part of the new marketing drive, a company website to promote their product across the globe and help develop a world wide network of agents.

Mr Colin Currah, Managing Director of COPPER RIDGE explained: "We have had a very successful first year in the private housing sector and completed some projects for local authorities and housing associations in Scotland promoting the low cost, and safety conscious, benefits of COPPER RIDGE in beating roof moss, algae and lichen.

"Our COPPER RIDGE website aims to help us pick up international interest that has been expressed in Canada and America. Ideally, we would be looking to recruit agents who could supply and fit the product because COPPER RIDGE is a versatile product with new applications constantly being developed: for example, Historic Buildings, Monuments and concrete facades."
