01 product description
Product description
TECU® Gold is a new material - with a precious golden surface for impressive new façade solutions using copper.
TECU® Gold is a copper and aluminium alloy. The original shiny golden colour of the surface goes through characteristic changes when exposed to normal weathering. After the initial matting, a golden and yellowish oxidation layer gradually emerges, and this changes over time into a soft golden colour. The patination processes do not give rise to any further intensive colouring on façade surfaces.
TECU® Gold offers outstanding mechanical abrasion resistance, extremely high corrosion resistance and durability as well as excellent stability and material rigidity. The material can be easily cold-shaped and processed using standard techniques. Because of its special material characteristics, TECU® Gold is also well suited for large-area applications.
TECU® Gold is an ideal complement to the TECU® product range and can be perfectly combined with the other copper surfaces. All the familiar economic advantages of the TECU® brand name apply without exception to TECU® Gold.

What potential do media facades offer contemporary architecture? Ambitious concepts are expected to provide answers and highlight the artistic possibilities and the technological opportunities.
Long-lasting and attractive
The task of remodeling and extending existing buildings is just as appealing as it is difficult. Frankfurt-based architects Schneider+Schumacher are currently working on reconstructing Poseidon House on Theodor-Heuss-Allee. Thomas Wagner spoke to Michael Schumacher about the rebuild, facades old and new, saving energy and the sustainability of “refurbishment and upgrading”.
