Corten

Corten is a type of steel created by a group of steel alloy materials. This beautiful and durable building material is left uncoated and weathers naturally in the elements. It has been extremely popular in Australia, where the rusted orange and red colours that develop organically on the surface of CORTEN steel mirror the warm tones of the Australian landscape. The colour of the patina when exposed to weather gives this steel a striking and unique appearance. CORTEN steel is ideal for both aesthetic and structural use, with a strength and durability beyond other types of steel.

Low Maintenance

CORTEN requires very little maintenance over the course of its service life. This makes it a good choice for cladding and other use in areas that are difficult to access or for buildings in busy urban areas where disruption should be minimised.

Non-Flammable

This type of steel is a non-combustible material, making it the ideal choice for the harsh and unpredictable elements of regional Australia. CORTEN can be used for building in areas that are prone to extreme weather events including bushfire.

Australian Look

CORTEN is perfect for use as cladding on buildings of any size or purpose. The weathered look of CORTEN steel gives a building a modern, industrial feel, while the unique shapes that can be created are ideal for Australian architectural designs.
