Copper sheet is a good conductor of heat and the best conductor of electricity after silver.

Copper is alloyed with tin, zinc and lead to form brasses and copper is recyclable.

Copper has natural antibacterial properties, the growth of bacterial on the surface of the sheet is greatly slowed and there is a markedly lower  population density than on traditional metals like stainless steel. This makes copper an additional defense against infections. Copper sheet metal can be used in kitchens as work surfaces, splash backs, trims, push plates and kick plates for example.

MetalSheets.co.uk manufacture a range of antibacterial copper sheet metal products including push plates.
