From antiquity to avant-garde - a legacy that breathes
Copper and its alloys - brass and bronze - have shaped civilisations since the Bronze Age. Today, their story continues through Nordic Copper by VM Building Solutions, offering architects a material that is not only sustainable and enduring, but alive.
A range of Nordic Copper finishes naturally interact with their environment, evolving over time. No two surfaces will age the same, making each project truly one of a kind.
What makes these metals so unique?
Nordic Standard (Natural Copper) Evolves from a warm orange-red to rich chestnut brown, and eventually to a classic green patina.
Nordic Brass Transforms from bright gold to brown-grey, and eventually to anthracite under natural conditions.
Nordic Bronze Begins with a reddish-brown hue that deepens and darkens beautifully over time.
Nordic Royal (Golden Alloy) Retains its luxurious golden tone and only softens to a matte finish over time—no green patina.
VM Building Solutions also offers pre-oxidised and pre-patinated finishes to accelerate the natural weathering process and achieve the desired architectural aesthetic from day one.
