Corten steel results from the combination of steel and several alloys including phosphorus, copper, chromium and nickel-molybdenum.
This decorative steel develops a protective layer when exposed to weather conditions such as rain, snow or temperature variations, naturally taking on an orange / brown colour similar to a raw-finish grating — with the added benefit of protection!
Corten steel is highly favoured by architects for its rust-like appearance.
Corten steel grating opens up new architectural possibilities, combining aesthetics and technical performance.
The metal oxidation reaches maturity within one to three years, making the patina of each Corten steel grating ultimately unique!
The rust-like appearance and weathering resistance of this grating have made it popular in architecture, street furniture, landscaping, construction and art, particularly in outdoor sculpture.
As walkways, stair treads and guardrails, Corten blends perfectly into its environment.
