Cor-Ten steel balustrade with a plant motif.

COR-TEN steel, also known as weathering steel or corten steel, is gaining popularity in balcony, terrace and stair railing designs. Here are some advantages that contribute to its popularity in these applications:

Weather Resistance: COR-TEN steel forms a protective layer of rust on its surface when exposed to the elements. This layer prevents further corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as balconies and terraces.

Aesthetics: The rustic appearance of COR-TEN steel gives the exterior of the building a distinctive and attractive appearance. Its warm, earthy shades can complement various architectural styles.

Low maintenance costs: A protective layer of rust means that COR-TEN steel does not need to be regularly painted or protected. This reduces ongoing maintenance costs and workload.

Strength and durability: COR-TEN steel is known for its high tensile strength and durability. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for use in balustrades requiring structural integrity.

Eco-friendly: Because COR-TEN steel does not need to be painted or hot-dip galvanized, it helps reduce the use of potentially harmful chemicals. Additionally, its longevity means less need for replacement, reducing material consumption over time.

Customizable: Can be shaped and tailored to specific projects and preferences, allowing you to be creative in your balcony and patio railing design.

Compatibility with other materials: COR-TEN steel can be combined with other materials, such as glass or wood, giving designers the flexibility to create diverse and unique styles.

Cost-effectiveness in the long run: Although COR-TEN steel may be more expensive initially compared to some other materials, its low maintenance costs and long service life can make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Thermal expansion and contraction: The alloy composition of COR-TEN steel provides a more stable response to temperature changes, which may be beneficial in areas subject to significant temperature fluctuations.

Saltwater Corrosion Resistance: When used near coastal areas, corten steel offers improved resistance to saltwater corrosion compared to other types of steel, helping to maintain integrity over time.
