New Prospects

Perforations offer a wide range of possibilities for distinctive designs using TECU® materials.

Different levels of transparency can be created, ranging from the almost completely transparent to the subtly translucent. The effect created by backlit façades can be precisely managed by the use of different TECU® materials combined with a range of perforation patterns. Moreover, the possibilities for using perforated copper cladding as a decorative element in interiors are practically unlimited. Perforations in copper inspire architects and planners to new creative works, for new visions in surface design and innovative applications of the versatile TECU® products.

The perforation of the TECU® surfaces takes place after the strips of copper and copper alloys are produced, by means of stamping. The blanked-out pieces are fed directly back into the recycling process. The stamping process does not in any way affect the tried and tested qualities of TECU® products; they remain easy to work, long-lasting and economical.
