Product Details

Our corten steel U-profiles have a thickness of 2 mm and are available in five different widths. The U-profiles can be supplied in two formats: with two equal sides of 50 mm or two unequal sides of 50 mm and 150 mm. U-profiles have a length of 2300 mm and are supplied in packs of ten. The U-profiles cannot be sold individually. However, it is possible to order individual corner pieces.

Corten steel has an orange-brown colour, the result of a natural rust layer. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.

Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, so the profiles will last for many years.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• 5-year guarantee.
• Corten steel U-profiles are hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
• The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 or 3 mm.
• Five different widths: 54, 64, 104, 154 and 204 mm.
• Each U-profile has a length of 2300 mm.
• U-profiles are available in packs of 10.
• Corner profiles can be ordered individually.
• Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
• The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the U-profile and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

• Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
• We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
• The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
• Clean annually by hosing off dirt with clean tap water.
