Facade with COR-TEN® steel - natural beauty.
From the series "Modern facade and wall materials - trends 2021".
Do you want to create a building that will make an impact on its surroundings for decades? In a city full of glass and concrete it will stand out with its rusty color and metallic sheen? Among green fields it will create a contrast, and over time it will blend in with the established landscape? Apply a facade made of steel
COR-TEN®!
COR-TEN® steel is one of the most preferred facade materials by architects and builders. It is characterized by high strength, virtually maintenance-free, and is a flexible material with an aesthetic appearance. Buildings using COR-TEN® steel age beautifully and do not go out of fashion. Moreover, their creators win awards for their innovative and sustainable designs.
Original COR-TEN® steel is produced by SSAB under license from the US Steel Corporation. Using genuine COR-TEN® steel ensures good appearance, durability and mechanical properties that meet your expectations as well as those of your customers.
