Why Choose a Copper Hopper Head?
A hopper is more than a practical fitting — it’s a statement piece. Here’s why Zambelli copper hoppers are a superior choice:
- Efficient water flow: captures runoff quickly, reducing overflow risk.
- Durable construction: fully copper for long life, no corrosion or cracking.
- Low maintenance: develops a natural patina that protects against weathering.
- Sustainable: 100 % recyclable, eco-friendly material choice.
- Aesthetic value: adds architectural character to both heritage and modern properties.
Whether you prefer a plain copper hopper for subtlety or an ornate copper hopper head for decorative flair, each piece delivers lasting performance and beauty.
Easy Installation, Reliable Fit
Installing copper hoppers is straightforward, whether for renovation or new build.
- Align the hopper with your copper gutter outlet.
- Connect to your Zambelli copper downpipe using the correctly sized outlet or spigot.
- Use secure copper fixings and ensure vertical alignment for efficient drainage.
- For best results, match your hopper’s finish with copper guttering and fascia brackets.
All fittings are compatible with European-style copper rainwater systems, ensuring a clean, professional finish without gaps or mismatches.
Long-Lasting Beauty with Zero Effort
Over time, copper forms its signature patina — that beautiful weathered look that evolves naturally while providing extra protection. It means your copper hopper head will continue to perform for over a century with almost no maintenance.
Unlike painted or coated systems, you’ll never need to sand, seal, or repaint. Just occasional checks for debris are all that’s needed.
