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
Does Corten steel need maintenance?
As mentioned above, corten steel is very low maintenance. However, we do recommend regular checks and cleaning to make up part of a periodic maintenance schedule. Remove any packaging from the product as soon as the delivery is received. Shrink wrap or other packaging materials may cause an uneven patina.
Can Corten steel hold water?
Very strong and water resistant. Although the outside of the water bowl will form a rusty patina over time, the inside of the bowl is in constant contact with water so the corten steel will continue to rust. This will discolour the water, we recommend refreshing the water at intervals.
Does Corten stop rusting?
The rusting or weathering process of Corten steel is what makes it special. It does not prevent rusting, but it forms rust only on its outer surface for protection. The presence of chromium, copper and nickel improves the Corten steel's weather resistance, allowing the development of a desirable patina.
What is the difference between galvanised steel and Corten steel?
It's easy to tell the difference between Corten steel and galvanised steel simply by looking at them. Galvanised steel is a dull, mainly matt grey and sometimes bears a mottled pattern on its surface. Corten, on the other hand, has a rust-coloured appearance.
Does Corten steel get hot?
Do corten planters get too hot in the summer? Steel planters have the ability to conduct heat and may feel warm to the touch after being exposed to the sun.
