What Is Corten Steel?
Corten steel is a durable, weather-resistant steel that develops a protective layer of rust when exposed to the elements. This unique rust layer not only gives it a distinctive orange-brown appearance but also prevents further corrosion, making it a popular choice for outdoor sculptures, architecture, and landscaping projects - hence why we use it and stand by it. Its ability to withstand weather conditions without needing paint or maintenance makes it both practical and aesthetically appealing.
Accelerated Rusting Tip:
Want to see its full glory faster? Submerge Corten steel in water overnight and watch as it fast-forwards to a rich, six-month rusted look in just a day or two after removing it from the water.
Care Tips For Corten Steel:
Embrace Natural Beauty: The best care for Corten steel is often no care at all. Its strength lies in its ability to form a protective rust layer that guards against further corrosion. However, if you wish to accelerate the patination process in a different way, you can mist the surface with vinegar and saltwater solution to encourage rusting. After achieving the desired look, simply let nature do the rest.
