Corten steel is an exceptionally durable and weather-resistant material. This metal alloy, enriched with copper and other elements, develops a natural patina over time. This rust patina not only gives the steel a warm, earthy colour that blends in with both natural and modern surroundings, but also acts as a protective barrier. This halts further corrosion, making the material ideal for long-term use, both indoors and outdoors.
Outdoors, Corten steel creates a beautiful connection with nature, whilst indoors it adds an industrial look. When using it outdoors, please bear in mind that rainwater running over the Corten steel may carry rust particles. On sensitive surfaces, such as natural stone, this can cause slight discolouration. You can easily prevent this by choosing a suitable location or, if necessary, applying a protective undercoat.
