Description
Our corten steel planter boxes are an ideal choice for you garden in Melbourne. We can also use the corten for edging. Weathering steel is usually referred to by its trademark name COR-TEN (or simply Corten) and is known for its superior corrosion resistance and thickness. This is because the surface of the steel forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to protect itself. This protective surface layer continues to regenerate over years of exposure.
The Benefits of Corten Weathering Steel
The protective properties of Corten steel sheet offer the following benefits:
- A Corten garden feature creates a unique industrial look that works as an interesting design feature
- The plate steel never requires treatment for longevity before installation
- It makes for hard-wearing, cost-effective cladding
- It removes the need for painting. In fact, painting Corten steel sheet actually eliminates its corrosion resistance because it prevents the protective film from forming over time
