That is sure Joe, it is the most preferred by metal workers, easier to cut and i think that is why they are selling it the way they want. | ||

Copper is easier to work with. It´s softer, cuts easier, doesn´t wear out your cutting tools like stainless does, and it solders more easily. It used to be much more reasonably priced and has been popular for generations. | ||

Is there an advantage to using the copper, beyond it just being more traditional? | ||
| Joe Jenkins |
Yes, TCS is cheaper, although it is rising in price also. | ||

Joe, Given the great rise in the cost of Copper, is it now cheaper to use TCS or Stainless Steel for flashings, valleys, et al on Slate Roofs? |
