CorTen steel is a weathering steel which develops a self protecting rust patina when exposed to the weather elements. It is a dynamic material that is sought by artists and architects alike, for its structural integrity and the variations in color, hue and texture. Use of this material ranges from monumental sculptures, like the Chicago's Picasso, to parks, like The High Line in New York City, to architectural buildings, as in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. More facts about CorTen steel:
- Resists corrosion - will not bubble, flake, or peel, which normally occurs with raw steel
- Requires no treatment or weather-proofing
- Structural strength of the steel is not compromised by the rusting process; therefore, durable for years
- Natural rusting or curing process takes approximately 6-9 months, depending on location
- Made from 100% recycled content
PLANTERS DO NOT COME PRE-WEATHERED.
