Cor-Ten

A SUPERIOR PRODUCT

Cor-Ten steel is a high tensile strength and corrosion resistant steel alloy. The name (Cor-Ten) reflects the special properties of this alloy: corrosion resistance (Cor) and high tensile strength (Ten). The combination of copper, chromium and phosphorous is what makes this a unique building material. These properties make Cor-Ten steel extremely durable and highly suitable for use in any environment. What makes this material unique is that over time a Cor-Ten’s surface is transformed by a beautiful patina.

TRANSFORMATION PROCESS

The large rolls of Cor-Ten steel are cut to the required width and rolled to the specific profile section. Upon exposure to air, the patina process begins which creates a protective layer of rust over the material’s surface. Left untreated, the rust will create an ever changing appearance. A surface wax treatment can be applied which will stop the continued rusting and will provide a protective barrier against the elements.

FINISH

Cor-Ten steel has a unique and distinctive appearance. The intense richness of its finish bestows a warm, natural, yet extremely elegant look. Its attractive appearance is a result of an oxidation process which forms a protective patina that remains unchanged over the years. A hand applied wax treatment can be administered to achieve a smooth look.
