Benefits Of Using Cor-Ten Sheet Facade Cladding

What are the benefits of using Cor-Ten sheet facade cladding?

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Rustic aesthetics
• Long service life
• Less expensive than painted panels

Excellent corrosion resistance
Corten Panels' protective coating contains a mixture of copper, chromium, manganese and nickel. After surface rusting (usually within six months of exposure to the atmosphere), the composition of weathering steel gives it greater resistance to corrosion and the ability to cope with harsh climates than non-alloyed steels. Because of its greater resistance to rust and corrosion, weathering steel can last for decades with little or no maintenance.

Rustic beauty
In addition to its corrosion resistance, weathering steel is chosen primarily for its appearance. The rustic and natural look of weathering steel blends well with a variety of environments, including deserts, farmlands and mountains.

Long service life
Corten Steel Cladding has a long life span of 40-60 years or more due to the protective patina it creates.

Less expensive than painted panels
Compared to weathering steel, painted metal panels can cost double or more.
