I don't know I have seen many copper roofs on buildings and they don't buckle summer or winter and they have soldered seams. However the thought of soldering over fibreglass might be risky. A standing seam design would allow for some expansion and contraction.

I think I may be confusing you with my misuse of "GRP". My top is plywood with a fibreglass and resin topping. Its still quite sound with a good gloss paint on it. This does require much attention to keep in good condition. As I said I was toying with the idea of copper as a complete no upkeep top. Well maybe some quality sealant around any roof penetrations. Not to many contours on my boat just a nice gentle curve.

I was thinking about a standing seam arrangement negating the need for a lot of soldering. I think in the long run I would save money on upkeep. If painted who would know unless I install a cupola disguised as a very tall pidgeon box. Maybe the weather vane would give it away.

I've been toying with the idea of putting a copper roof over my GRP top. Ever seen one? They last 100 years on a house. They age to a nice green patina.
