I have a new Galvalume roof on a barn and there is a cupola that needs roofing as well. The cupola roof is flared at the bottom, making it difficult to use the Galvalume, and my contractor suggests using copper. My concern is that over the years copper particles washing down off the cupola could cause corrosion of the Galvalume below it. Is there really as issue with this type of situation?
