Summary for copper roll for bar top Discussion
Copper roll for a bar top is the focus of this thread, with contractors and homeowners asking where to find copper sheet large enough for countertop use. Bruce Watson, a contractor in Atlanta, wanted a 26" x 44' copper top for a pub build-out, and Jule Crawford asked about suppliers for a copper countertop in Michigan. James Watts advised that a simple web search for "copper sheet" would turn up many options, and noted that local building suppliers and roofing suppliers may carry thinner copper. He also cautioned that buyers need to think beyond size and price: the needed purity, alloy, and hardness all affect what product is suitable. An editor’s note pointed Bruce to other letters with suggested sources. The practical takeaway is that copper sheet is available, but the buyer must specify the right material properties and may need to check multiple supplier types.
Q. remodel and build out pubs/bars. My owner has a copper fixation. I am looking for the copper to use as a bar top. (26″ x 44′) Can’t find the real thing anywhere. Please direct me. Thanks a million

A. Go to google and type in copper sheet. You will be buried in options. Some building suppliers and some roofing suppliers that are local to you may sell thinner copper. When you say copper, how pure do you want or what alloy do you want. What hardness do you think you need. It all enters into the purchase more than just “copper-at thickness”.
