Copper and brass don't get the spotlight that steel and aluminum do, but for the right application, nothing else comes close. These materials have specific properties that make them the correct specification for plumbing fittings, electrical bus bars, decorative metalwork, bearings, valve components, and a range of specialty fabrication projects that require corrosion resistance, conductivity, or machinability that ferrous metals can't match.
Copper is the standard for residential and commercial plumbing, roofing flashing, and electrical wiring for reasons that haven't changed in decades. It's also increasingly popular for decorative and architectural applications, range hoods, bar tops, and accent metalwork, where the material's warm tone and natural patina are part of the design intent. Brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy, is typically the choice for valves, fittings, marine hardware, and decorative pieces where machinability and appearance both matter.
We stock copper and brass in flat bar, round bar, sheet, and tube. Like everything we carry, it's available cut to your dimensions with no minimum order. For small custom shops, hobbyists, or contractors who need a specific piece without buying a full length, that flexibility is the difference between a straightforward project and an expensive one.
