COR-TEN or self-weathering steel eliminates the need for painting or sealing your metal signage. After years of natural weathering this product will oxidize and develop a natural rusted appearance that inhibits further corrosion of the metal.

Not only is Corten durable and visually interesting, but it is also self-healing as any damage or marks will slowly disappear over time.

For aesthetic reasons, sometimes we pre-age this product with a variety of techniques prior to installation.

Benefits of self-weathering steel:

• Minimal life cycle cost and ongoing maintenance (close to zero maintenance which is both environmentally and budget friendly)
• Can allow for quicker production since no paint is required
• High strength material
• Can be welded and cut to almost any shape
• Rust will not decrease the structural strength of the steel

Self-weathering steel may not be right for every project, which is why we also offer faux finishing in order to achieve this aesthetic on a variety of other substrates.
