Sculptures in corten steel: the charm of a live metal


Sculptures in corten steel: the charm of a live metal.

Many customers are asking us to produce sculpture in corten. We say corten is a live metal and this is very fascinating.

What do we mean by "live"?
If the protective layer is scratched, oxidation process starts again and forms a new protection, always a little bit different.

This metal can be used in various areas thanks to its high resistance to corrosion and weather and to its extreme durability. Corten steel is increasingly used in artistic filed also because its silver colour gives to the works an ever new perspective, always different. This kind of steel gives a touch of originality and liveliness.

Many people are asking us how muche a corten sculpture costs.

Corten steel certainly less than other kinds of steel as you can reduce its thickness and conseguently its weight under the same tensile strengh.

What are the benefits?

  • High structural resistance
  • High resistance to atmosferic corrosion
  • Not much maintenance as it doesn't break and doesn't deteriorates
  • It doesn't deform standing the test of time
  • Long lasting steel
  • 100% recyclable as a antural material
