TECU® Classic TECU® Oxid TECU® Patina TECU® Zinn TECU® Brass TECU® Bronze TECU® Gold TECU® Iron TECU® VISION TECU® Bond TECU® System Products TECU® Sizes and Availability TECU® Project Consulting TECU® References The decision to design building cladding with copper leaves plenty of opportunities for creativity. Durable TECU ® products from KME offer many unique possibilities. The striking natural surfaces in copper and copper alloys allow for singular design. Prefabricated system elements offer a wide range of solutions, from free-form designs to the simple and economic cladding of larger...

TECU® Classic In the beginning, the architecture grade material is bright red rolled copper. But what follows is an ever-changing spectacle of weather, light and the natural, lively language of the material: After installation on the building, TECU® Classic retains its typical bright red copper colouring for a period of time. Changes are very gradual and not entirely predictable – just like the weather, which, in turn, is solely responsible for copper’s continual changes. First, the surface turns matt. Gradually, the material develops an oxide layer to protect it against the effects of...

TECU® Oxid As if touched by nature, in magnificent shades of brown. Time-tested TECU® Classic quality copper with a completely different look: With TECU® Oxid, the initial bright, freshly-installed copper, and the gradual change of colour to shades of brown is simply bypassed. Natural changes on the building start immediately with a brown oxide layer. The process continues as with classical copper: Nature changes the surface through the effects of sun, rain, snow and wind, giving it an exciting life of its own – always unique, typical copper. TECU® ECOLOGICAL COPPER   for a greener, more...

TECU® Patina Green copper for immediate creative application – all natural, no limits. TECU® ECOLOGICAL COPPER   for a greener, more responsible Architecture Often the shortest path takes you directly to your goal. When the design demands the power and expressiveness of the patina green typical for copper, then it should be implemented just as required – without waiting for the gradual changes caused by natural weathering. The solution is TECU® Patina – on one side patinated copper for immediate use to satisfy the highest aesthetic demands in building design. TECU® Patina is always...

TECU® Zinn Colourful grey: elegance and durability. The elegant understatement of the exquisite matt grey surface harmonises excellently with many other building materials. And the connection between two exceptional metals combines the proverbial longevity of the carrier material with a metallic surface which, although not typical for copper, strikes just the right note. To manufacture TECU® Zinn, copper strips are specially tinned and surface-treated on both sides. The resulting surface gradually takes on the distinctive matt greenish-grey tone when exposed to weathering. This material...

TECU® Brass A new kind of Brass – modern and expressive. Copper alloys are the new “highlight” façade materials: singular, extremely durable and distinctly “alive”. One of the best-known copper alloys, Brass is given particular quality in the form of TECU® Brass, a special alloy of copper and zinc. The TECU® Alloy materials also display individual characteristics as they weather naturally to exteriors. The original surface of TECU® Brass changes through from initial matting gradually to a greenish-brown, that further develops to greyish brown then dark brown/anthracite colours. Sloped areas...

TECU® Bronze Bronze – an alloy of copper and tin and a synonym for metallic works of art. While artists have long made use of bronze, architects are now also able to make optimum use of the material – for more refinement in façade design. The original warm reddish-brown surface of TECU® Bronze develops in a distinctive manner through weathering. A brown-red surface oxidation with a brown-grey undertone is typical for this alloy; the material then gradually changes to dark brown anthracite throughout. The subsequent patina coating forms much more slowly than with pure copper. Offering...

TECU® Gold photographer . Thomas Jantscher Gold is more than overpowering gloss: TECU® Gold, the new copper and aluminium alloy for façade cladding, will soon after installation begin to develop a very elegant matt brown-golden appearance reminding of gold in a very specific way. Façade solutions in TECU® Gold give buildings a discreet value image. Depending on the incidence of light on façade surfaces, a fascinating, unequalled play of colours can be witnessed. photographer . Patrick Miara Copper and Aluminium – the „golden“ advantage of a precious alliance.

TECU® Iron Copper: sensationally different! TECU® Iron is offered in two versions: TECU® Iron_one and TECU® Iron_two, which differ in the vividness of the surface finish. TECU® Iron is offered as a sheet up to a size of 1,000 x 3,000 mm and also as the composite material TECU® Bond_iron. TECU® Iron complements the TECU® product portfolio by adding an interesting and extraordinary option, which is already attracting a considerable degree of attention amongst architects and planners: an intensive reddish-brown copper surface finish, bringing weathered steel to mind, but also with all the...

TECU® VISION_punch TECU® VISION_shape Perforations offer many new possibilities for individual design with TECU® surfaces. Many different levels of transparency can be created – from almost complete transparency to a subdued translucence. The effect of back-lit facades can be designed very individually by using different TECU® surfaces and a large number of different perforation patterns. There are also virtually no limits to the use of perforated TECU® products as decorative elements indoors. Amorphous structures, wave shapes, organic three-dimensional patterns, spherical impressions in...
