 About Us

Over 100 years ago Follansbee introduced terne coated carbon steel for roofing, and many distinguished residences and public buildings were roofed with Terne because of its reputation for durability. Properly painted and maintained no other architectural metal can match its historic performance.

In 1968 Follansbee introduced TCS, the original terne coated stainless steel. This used the same protective terne coating on a stainless steel substrate to produce a maintenance free product. TCS began creating its own history of service as a metal roofing material, with a natural weathered appearance and a long, maintenance free life. TCS has since been specified by many of the worlds leading architects and used on many prestigious projects.

In 1998 , Follansbee introduced TCS II. This is an improved version of the original TCS terned stainless, with new patented ZT alloy coating, which offers a longer life, due to its improved corrosion resistance, with an environmentally sensitive lead-free alloy composition. TCS II allows the architect to design metal roofs, which achieve environmental compatibility without sacrificing performance.




Follansbee now introduces their KlassicKolors range of colour coated terne metal roofing coated with Valspar's high performance solar reflective coatings. This offers the architect a wide colour choice, including stainless and copper patina metallic finishes, with reduced solar gain.
