Corten consists of a group of alloys and is often used in outdoor construction projects such as the construction of bridges and the famous Angel of the North
Corten looks like mild steel at first, but as the oxidation process begins, Corten develops a layer of rust that protects the steel and prevents any corrosion. After a few months, Corten will stop oxidizing and “self-seal,” meaning no rust will regenerate, and over time, the appearance of the product will darken. Corten is a zero maintenance product that works with nature rain or shine, making it a beautiful and hassle-free addition to any garden.
