Patinated Copper Stretcher

A seamless metal texture with patinated copper arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 3000 x 3000 mm (118.1 x 118.1 inches) in total, with each individual sheet measuring approximately 400 x 400 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are -25 mm (-1 inches) in width.

Patinated copper describes any copper product that has been treated with a chemical process to cause a natural discolouration or fading during the life of the material. Patinated copper transitions through a variety of colours and textures during this process, from bright copper to a dark brown. Ultimately, the material adopts a green hue after years of exposure. The resulting finish is used for building cladding, facades, and for internal details and finishes.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
