Corten steel privacy screen and its unsurpassable advantages
Clear,Wood exudes a special atmosphereand will always be one of the most popular materials for home and garden. However, Corten has an advantage over wood that should not be underestimated. It is particularly weatherproof and has an above-average lifespan - and you don't have to paint it regularly. All fans of a sustainable lifestyle will also be pleased that this is a material that is completely recyclable. So if you decide to change in a few years, you don't have to feel guilty.
How is the patina created on Corten steel privacy screens and other elements?
Dierusty surfaceNot only does it look great, it also blends in perfectly with the natural surroundings thanks to its warm, natural color. It is also the reason why the steel is so durable, because it forms a barrier layer of firmly adhering sulfates or phosphates that protects it from corrosion and rusting. This sounds illogical at first, as we know that rust makes metals porous and fragile. However, this is not the case with alloy steel, and therefore also with Corten steel privacy screens. And that even with direct contact with the ground.
But how does this layer come about and what do you have to do about it yourself? Regardless of whether it is a Corten steel privacy screen or another garden element – the material is initially gray. The steel alloy is a mixmade of copper, chromium, silicon, nickel and phosphorus. The American Byramji D. Saklatwalla registered the patent for this in 1932. The rust layer only develops over time due to the effects of the weather, namely after about 2 weeks. It can take up to 3 years for this process to be completely completed. More specifically, it is the change between wet and dry that causes steel to rust.
What needs to be taken into account for an attractive patina?
So that your Corten steel privacy screen can rust evenly, it is important to ensure that the entire surface is exposed to these weather conditions. Nevertheless, the coloring and structure is different for each element. This is simply because the humidity and temperature fluctuations are always different. Are you impatient and don't want to wait 2 weeks for the rusting process to begin? There are now preparations that accelerate the process and cause the first signs of rusting within 24 hours. Or you can simply buy already corroded steel directly.
Is the Corten steel privacy screen for the garden only suitable for modern styles?
The short answer is “no”. In principle, a Corten steel privacy screen is suitable for every garden style. The material is so versatile and so lively that it gives every style a special character and can underline existing character traits. And there isn't necessarily a specific style.
Without question, Corten is a popular material inminimalist gardens. There it takes away the severity of the gray exposed concrete and loosens up the atmosphere. Conversely, a Corten steel privacy screen, plant container, a Corten steel fire pit or other element can also take away the formality of a classic garden. So no matter whether your garden is modern, natural, maritime, industrial or romantic - a Corten steel privacy wall gives the outdoor area a touch of modernity, combined with a touch of shabby chic.
