Nordic Green material is pre-patinated at the Aurubis mill to immediately provide the same green patina that naturally develops over time in the environment. The pre-patination process encourages the continuing formation of natural patina through environmental exposure, dependent on local atmospheric and rainfall conditions.

Different intensities of patina flecks can be created revealing some of the dark-oxidized background material, enabling architects to determine the type and intensity of the green patina with choices of Nordic Green Living surface finishes.

Aurubis also develops special individual levels of patination to meet the design requirements or to match historically patinated copper on existing buildings.

Nordic Green surface finishes can be combined with each other or with other surface finishes to create various visual impacts, e.g. with Nordic Royal.

All Nordic Copper products are also suitable for indoor use.
