Read an article in Architecture recently -- the only in which all the
articles were not removed by the copy editor -- about titanium roofing with
a 100 warranty. (Similar info is available in the exhibition "Titanium" at
the National Building Museum in Warshington, DC.) What's Follansbee offering
on the TCSS?

Attention, non-vacationing pinheads!
I gotta replace a slate roof, and am hemming and hawing about durability of
lead coated copper vs. terne-coated stainless steel flashing. It doesn't
make much sense to me to save money by installing 25 year flashings under a
100 year roof. On the other hand, having had bad experiences with splitting
soldered seams in TCSS, would I not be insane to insist that a roofer use
TCSS if he doesn't want to? Are we not better off with
more-readily-solderable LCC, which theoretically should give us a longer
service life for well-soldered joints than the more durable TCSS with joints
that want to split next week?
Please advise ASAP.
Your loving humor czar,
Ralph
