Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, extending longevity. The oxide skin makes it unnecessary to paint the material.

Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on the steel.

Corten steel is very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low maintenance and durable. It is very strong and therefore lends itself perfectly to garden, landscape and interior design.
