Corten Steel

Corten steel is weather resistant steel. Its chemical composition promotes the early formation of an adhering protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements. It is a copper chromium alloy steel – this alloy displays a greater level of resistance to atmospheric weathering when compared to other unalloyed steels. The advantage of Corten is that it doesn't have to be painted, it forms a very stable surface rust layer that protects the rest of the material from corrosion.

Usage: External cladding, landscape, outdoor sculpture

Size: Corten Steel is commonly available in the market as sheet form (common thickness range from 6mm to 12mm).
