Often called Weathering Steel, Corten Steel (COR-TEN) exhibits greater resistance to atmospheric corrosion than other steels due to its special chemical composition. Under the influence of the weather, steel forms a protective layer on its surface. To form the protective coating, the steel is allowed to rust. Because of the high copper content, the surface develops [...]
The use of corten steel in garden and landscape design is extensive. Due to its ability to resist the weather, it is also called weathering steel. Landscape architects and garden designers use it to construct retaining walls, planters, and other structures. When it comes from the mill, corten steel looks like any other steel. The oxidation [...]
Corten steel forms a stabilising rust finish when it is weathered. When exposed to the environment, this material develops a patina of rust on its outer surface. At UltraLights, this process will begin and continue until the patination stabilises in its final environment. The actual pattern and coloration of our Corten Steel may differ from the [...]
Corten steel tanks are used for a variety of purposes, including making jewelry and other items. They are also very strong, durable, and can be used in a variety of applications. The steel used in a Corten tank is generally hard and resistant to damage. It will not dissolve if subjected to temperature extremes or harsh [...]
How sustainable is Corten steel? The industrial heritage of this site inspired the exterior cladding, which departs from Architype's natural finish. Corten offers a contemporary response to the site's history, which weathers to a vibrant orange patina.Is corten steel sustainable? Yes, the duration of corten steel sustainability is more than 10 years.The surface of Corten develops [...]
