What Are Corten Steel Screen Panels?
Corten Steel Screen Panels also known as weathering steel and weathering panels, corten screens are crafted from steel with alloys that develop a rustic patina when left uncoated and exposed to natural elements.
What Is Corten Steel?
Corten steel, or weathering steel, is a type metal that develops a unique rusty patina over time.
Its name is derived from the two main properties of Corten steel: a good 'cor'rosion resistance and a good 'ten'sile strength.
Corten steel has an altered chemical composition which makes it reactive to water and oxygen, allowing a protective layer of rust to develop on the surface whilst keeping the structural integrity of the steel layer under the rust in tact.
Corten steel screen panels are decorative or functional metal panels made from weathering steel. They are typically laser-cut into various patterns and designs.
These panels serve multiple roles, including:
- Privacy screens
- Decorative wall panels
- Garden dividers
- Fence
- Sunshade panels
