The practical and aesthetic benefits of using weathering steel Hollow Structural Sections make it an ideal material choice for structural applications in buildings and other structures such as bridges, architecturally exposed buildings, fencing, railings and more. When it comes to steel construction Hollow Structural Sections, often...
Are weathering steel and cor-ten the same thing? Can weathering steel be painted? How long does it take for the patina to form? These are just a few of the questions about weathering steel we often receive. From its properties to best practices, learn more about weathering...
Natural geometries and systems, such as plant spores, seashells, and honeycombs, inspire the exquisite works of large-scale sculptor DeWitt Godfrey. With his appreciation for the natural, it is no wonder that Godfrey uses weathering steel to construct his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Godfrey began using cor-ten steel in...
Weathering steel and wine may sound like an odd pair, but they complement each other surprisingly well. We’ve seen corten, or weathering steel, be used in various outdoor applications, including garden design, stormwater management, security solutions, and building construction. Why not in wine making? Weathering steel's...
From garden design to transmission poles, there are countless applications for corten and weathering steel. Corten’s aesthetically-pleasing appearance, strength, durability and versatility that make it suitable for unique situations. Central Steel Service provided the material for an especially innovative and artful project. The project Fresno Fab Tech...
While there are several benefits of using weathering steel, the fundamental benefit is its ability to resist corrosion. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of weathering steel enables it to be used unpainted in many structural and architectural applications for structures, including bridges, open-frame buildings, transmission towers,...
