Why bent 16 sided instead of just curved? Uniformity: for round turrets roof caps it is near impossible to get this thick copper to bend near the peak around in a uniform curve just right with out hammering it in shape, but hammering will not leave a nice smooth curved surface. I have found that it works best to make these with 16 bends instead for a good strong uniform look. Each bend also helps to add strength to the copper sheet metal. Better Strength: it is known in the sheet metal business that the sharper the bend; the more strength. An 8 sided roof cap for example has stronger corners, but there is also twice as much flat space between bends. I have not found that more than 16 bends would be an asset. It seems to look plenty round and rather regal looking. As far as I know our clients have been very pleased with the results. A few clients were nice enough to send photos of their turret roof cap installed for us to show you here, so you will have a much better perspective of how it would look.
