Corten Steel
Corten Steel, also known as weathering steel, is a special steel originally developed for bridge building and skyscraper construction due to its incredible strength. It develops a protective, striking rust appearance on exposure to the weather, creating warm rich textures not always associated with metal. Due to the chemical composition of Corten Steel, a very dense oxidisation layer is formed during the weathering process which protects the blue steel inside. If this protective barrier is compromised, it will simply form a new skin to protect itself. Corten Steel is extremely durable and has a far higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than other steels.
Step by Step Weathering Guide

Stage 1 – Freshly manufactured Corten Steel. At this stage the dark oily residue coats the Corten Steel.
Stage 2 – The oily residue is beginning to break down, as the Corten Steel begins to weather.
Stage 3 & 4 – The “Run-Off” stage – This can take around 3-9 months depending on weather and positioning.
Stage 5 & 6 – The final stages of the weathering process. Some “Run-Off” may still occur as the Corten Steels patina develops to a striking, more consistent appearance.
