  • Characteristics

    Corten steel has an orange-brown colour, the result of a natural rust layer. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.

    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, so the pedestals will last for many years.

    SPECIFICATIONS:

    • 5-year guarantee.

    • Load-bearing capacity of up to 150 kg.

    • Includes hardwood seat.

    • Corten steel benches are hard-wearing, weather-resistant, low-maintenance and durable.

    • The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 mm.

    • Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.

    • The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off. 

    • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline. See our blog post “Corte Steel and Coastal Sites” for more info.

    Key points of interest:

    • Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.

    • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.

    • The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.

    • All hardwoods turn grey when exposed to UV radiation, rain and wind. The eventual colour partly depends on the initial colour.

    • Wood is a natural product which shrinks or expands depending on temperature and moisture content. Regular oiling helps to stabilise the moisture content and limits shrinking and swelling.

    • Use stainless-steel screws. Like almost all woods, hardwood reacts when it comes into contact with iron. This can cause significant discolouration, which can look like mould.

    • Clean annually by hosing off dirt with clean tap water.
