Corten Steel has many benefits including maintenance and longevity. Alongside high-strength, Corten is a very low maintenance steel which is ideal for structures where maintenance can be difficult or dangerous such as bridges, or where disruption needs to be minimised such as around major roads or railways.
Corten can be constructed more quickly than other types of steel since processes such as painting can be eliminated. The rust appearance which develops on Corten Steel can increase the longevity of the application given the resistance to corrosion therefore creating a more economical solution.
