How Corten Steel Enhances the Aesthetics of Buildings Over the Years

Few days back, I shared a post on how Corten steel is revolutionizing the construction industry. Mainly used in outdoor construction for its strength, durability, and appearance, the metal oxidizes its surface to prevent corrosion. 

The steel alloy changes its color to deep rustic shades of orange and brown while continuing to be durable. That’s why corten steel façades make appealing building fronts. You see, there’s no need to paint the structure. Its natural ability to change its appearance over time enhances its value in the Architecture and Construction industry. 

Imagine not having to repaint the building front every few years! 

An extremely versatile material, Corten steel has become a popular choice for home and commercial projects. The building facades are durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing. What I also found out was its capability to be molded into different shapes. It can replicate simple and intricate designs with ease. 

In fact, Corten steel’s composition – iron and carbon alloys with copper, nickel, phosphorus, nickel, chromium, silicon, and manganese ensures its strength and longevity. I feel it is a great alloy to explore in the Home and Commercial spaces design industry.
