What is corten steel?

Corten steel – features and benefits

 

Corten is currently one of the most popular steels, which is widely used in gardens, public spaces and private properties.

Many interior designers and planners often choose to use Corten in modern spaces due to their specific characteristics.
Corten is also a non-toxic, environmentally friendly substance that is becoming increasingly important this year.

In the past, Corten was primarily seen as a durable and corrosion-resistant raw material used in heavy industry production.
It is currently used for building facades or as an addition to interiors and gardens.
Corten perfectly emphasizes the aesthetic values ​​of the modern form when it comes to industrial, public and private construction.

Reasons to use Corten atmospheric steel.

 

Corten steel has a wide range of valuable properties, the most significant of which is the increased resistance to extreme weather conditions. Corten steel, exposed to rain and air, makes a rust-like coating on its surface. However, this coating differs significantly from standard corrosion in that in this case it does not harm the material but serves as a protective layer created by several chemical elements such as nickel, phosphorus, chromium and copper. These alloys increase the resistance of corten steel to atmospheric corrosion, creating a protective patina on the surface. This patina usually develops within 1 to 3 years, depending on environmental conditions and changes in wet and dry periods that help the male adhere. Due to the presence of phosphorus, this protective layer is constantly renewed on the surface and forms a barrier against moisture, oxygen and pollution. The protective outer layer made of those elements does not penetrate the material, which means that Corten has no requirements for impregnation or special maintenance. It also does not incur additional costs as there is no need to paint or renew regularly.

Corten steel products do not require surface treatment.

 

This is a definite advantage, as the elements made from it usually take on a reddish-brown color over time. This makes each product definitely unique in appearance. Due to its industrial nature, Corten is increasingly used not only in industry but also in contemporary architecture and art. The innovative nature of the metal goes well with the greenery of the garden. The stunning design of the sculptures, benches, water elements, planters, stoves and wall panels is made of Corten steel. Corten is currently a very fashionable material used by world-class designers. They value the warmth of colors, ease of processing, easy maintenance and, above all, high durability. In addition, the small thickness of the corten panel allows you to create openwork garden structures such as gazebos, lighting elements, gazebos and partitions. Corten steel lamps are also produced, which create phenomenal visual effects both day and night.

Corten steel advantages

Extremely resistant

 

Corten steel is exceptionally resistant to weather damage and vandalism. It works great in an urban space! Scratching the corten steel will not damage it, after a while the scratched area will be covered with a layer of patina again and the damage will not remain.

Very durable

 

Corten steel is maintenance-free. It is protected by a coating that forms as an outer layer. Corten steel is used in architecture without any surface treatment measures. This steel does not require any coating during production and operation, thus avoiding additional environmental pollution and reducing production costs.

Unique design

 

Corten steel has a unique design. The industrial steel style of Corten will blend perfectly into most spaces. This metal, as if alive, will change its orange hue – your product will be unique and eye-catching throughout its life.
