Application
TCS II is one of the most durable and versatile architectural metals ever
developed for roofing and cladding applications, with a guaranteed
performance and design life expectancy of 60 years.
In addition to the traditional standing seam roof, TCS II can be used
for barrel vaults, domes and wall cladding. It is ideally suited for
rural, industrial and marine environments and can be used for both
cold and warm roof applications. The strength, durability and
malleability make it an excellent material for all weathering
applications, such as flashings, copings and gutters.
TCS II has a high fatigue strength and low coefficient of expansion
so that long lengths can be used in roofs and gutters. This speeds
installation, reduces the number of joints and so reduces cost.

|
It is one of the lightest roofing metals, being a quarter the weight of
code 5 lead, and so reduces the load on the structure. This is an
advantage for over-roofing or re-roofing of existing buildings, reducing the
need for strengthening the roof structure.

In refurbishment TCS II has particular advantages where planning
authorities require the appearance of lead but where the weight and costs
may be prohibitive.
TCS II retains excellent ductility in cold weather and the ZT coating makes
it one of the easiest metals to solder, with non-aggressive fluxes being
used.
