Products Description
Corten steel also called Weather Resistant steel or Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant steel, it is known as
a low cost and highly effective material.
Corten steel is classed as being a "self -protecting "steel for its "patina "which results from protective surface oxidation and develops during exposure to the atmosphere; The oxide layer that gives the steel its distinctive appearance and enhances weather resistant capabilities compared to standard steels, also the improved corrosion performance can lead to improved service life.
Corten steels are typically used in Railway, bridges, rolling stock, shipping container, Garden building, and other structural applications.

FAQ
Q: What is a Corten screen?
A: Corten ( lyten ) or otherwise known as weathering steel. This is a great product to use in landscaping or when you want a rustic feature, left to age natural you get an amazing rust patina. Corten is also the strongest being essentially a light gauge structural 350 grade steel it is super strong.
Q: Why is corten steel so expensive?
A: However, given Corten's longevity and lower maintenance needs, it represents a long-term investment. Mild steel is certainly a cost-effective alternative, but if a protective coating, such as powder coating or galvanising, is applied for added longevity, the cost comparison with Corten starts to level out.
Q: What is the lifespan of corten steel?
A: To tell you frankly, Corten Steel's lifespan can reach up to several decades and, in some cases, even beyond a century, around 40-120 years! Yep, you heard it right – Corten Steel is no one-hit wonder. Its durability is a testament to its unique composition and the formation of that protective rust-like patina.
Q: Is corten steel better than stainless steel?
A: Unlike stainless steel, Corten Steel is a distinct type of alloy designed to weather gracefully over time, offering structural strength and an aesthetic quality that sets it apart.
Q: Is Corten steel waterproof?
A: Corten steel, also called weathering steel, has a unique chemical composition that transforms it into a highly weather-resistant material when exposed to the elements.
