Corten steel gratings
Corten steel gratings open up new architectural perspectives combining aesthetics and technical properties. Its appearance and resistance to atmospheric conditions make it popular in architecture, landscaping, construction and art, mainly in outdoor sculpture. Its oxidation forms fairly quickly and then stabilizes over time.
Product
The Corten steel grating falls into the category of self-weathering structures with induced surface corrosion. It is especially prized for this specific aspect and its resistance to atmospheric aggressions, mainly in the fields of architecture, landscaping, construction and urban art. The oxidation of Corten steel forms quickly and stabilizes over time.
It gets its name from the two characteristics of the material: “CORosion resistance and TENsile strength”.
Architects use Corten steel gratings in particular for the realization of tree grates and street furniture, or to create sun-break facades with inclined blades giving buildings a trendy industrial aspect.

Tip: to speed up the corrosion process, we recommend regular spraying with salt water. After drying, this operation can be repeated every day to ensure that the rust appears quickly. This makes it easier to achieve the corroded effect.
