Corten steel, often referred to as weathering steel, is a unique type of steel alloy designed to develop a protective rust-like layer when exposed to the elements. This distinct characteristic sets it apart from traditional steel alloys.

Corten steel is favored for its several benefits:

• Weather Resistance: Its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and even saltwater environments, makes it ideal for outdoor applications.
• Low Maintenance: Corten steel requires minimal maintenance, as the protective patina eliminates the need for frequent painting or coatings.
• Longevity: Due to its corrosion-resistant properties, Corten steel structures can have a longer lifespan compared to standard steel.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The unique rust-like appearance of Corten steel adds a distinct, rustic charm to architectural and landscaping projects.

The flat Corten screens have a depth of 2mm and cannot be used with our posts or aluminium channels. They are better suited for wall applications or attaching to an existing fence.

The folded screens are made out of the same 2mm material but are folded across the edges to create a 16mm box. This enables you to use the screens with our Aluminium posts or channels.

While Corten steel is relatively low maintenance, occasional cleaning to remove dirt and debris can help maintain its appearance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods, as they can damage the protective patina.

No we do not pre-drill any holes for hanging the corten screen as these are not always required by our clients. We would advise using a suitable metal drill bit to drill a pilot hole before attaching any screws.

We stock corten posts that are purpose built for our 16mm garden screens and very easy to install. These corten posts have channels to slot the screens into. The corten posts will allow you to use our screens to create beautiful freestanding pieces for your garden. You would need to select the Folded option for Corten to use with our aluminium or Corten posts.

Yes all our premium screens can be cut to your desired size to fit any area. Cutting the screens will not affect the longevity of the product as the material itself is completely waterproof. The newly cut edges will not require any paint as our screens are naturally made out of this colour.
