Quality
TECU® Classic copper sheets and strips are produced according to DIN EN 1172 and KME's guidelines, using Cu-DHP copper with a purity of at least 99.9%, ensuring superior visual appearance and exceeding standard requirements.

The Surface
TECU® Classic copper starts as bright red and develops a protective oxide layer over time, transitioning to a green patina that offers long-lasting protection and unique character.

Processing and Installation
Due to its malleability and high melting point, TECU® Classic is suitable for various metal processing techniques and is available in façade and roofing grades, surpassing DIN EN 1172 requirements for excellent visual effects.

Copper is fully recyclable with a recycling rate of around 80%, minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact, aligning with sustainable development goals.
