LIVING FINISHES IN COPPER AND BRONZE
Aes Cyprium was the name ancient Romans gave to the copper that was first mined in Cyprus. Evocative of an element discovered in antiquity and used by artisans to create objects of lasting beauty, the Cyprium Collection features copper and bronze clad windows and doors that are unique in profile and construction.
The Cyprium Collection is artisanal in detail – down to the soldered exterior joints and rich, tactile depth of texture in the thick metal cladding. These hand-wrought living surfaces develop distin ctive patinas that both adopt and define the individual aesthetic character of the homes to which they belong.
COPPER AND BRONZE CLADDING SYSTEM
The Cyprium Collection is available in Awning, Casement, Terrace Door, Picture and Specialty. Nominal .040” thick copper and bronze is used to craft a cladding of exceptional strength for sash and frame
segments as well as Simulated Divided Lite bars.
A palette of custom patinas is available within the Collection.
SOLDERED JOINTS
Lead-free soldered joints add a hand-forged, authentic appearance that is both beautiful and functional. Soldered joints create a cohesive, watertight body for frame and sash members resulting in uniform reaction to temperature fluctuation.
RECESSED MULLION
Recessed from the face of the frame and sill, this classic mullion detail combines visual harmony with functional design. Cyprium’s deep sills are well suited to masonry wall construction.
CAPPED SILL END
Hand-fitted sill caps are soldered in place for structural integrity and a finished appearance.
DISTINCT PICTURE/
DIRECT SET PROFILES
Picture/Direct Set (fixed, non-sashed units) offer an even deeper offset from the edge of sill, head and frame members to the vertical plane of the glass.
CYPRIUM DOORS
A fitting partner to legendary Loewen Douglas Fir (standard) or Mahogany (optional) construction, Cyprium doors offer robust security and timeless style with individuality derived from the “perfect imperfection” of a living patina.
FULL CLAD DOOR PANELS
With break-formed edges and soldered joints, clad door panels combine rugged performance with architectural elegance.
