## Frequently asked questions

**What is Corten steel?**

A weathering structural steel, for example S355J2W to EN 10025-5. Outdoors it forms a red-brown rust layer (patina) that slows further corrosion.

**When does the patina form?**

After a few weeks to months outdoors. Alternating rain and drying is needed. Under a roof the colouring remains uneven.

**Does Corten steel stain?**

Yes, especially at the beginning. Run-off rust water stains light-coloured stone, concrete and render. Keep a distance or create a gravel drip zone.

**How do I care for Corten steel?**

No painting needed. Avoid standing water, leaves and soil on the surface. Then the patina becomes even.

**Which thicknesses are available?**

The approved thicknesses can be selected online in the configurator. We supply other thicknesses up to 8 mm on request.
