Adezz Corten Steel Cado Planter
Product Description
The Adezz planter is Attractive Corten Steel planter is ideal on the patio as a stunning distinguished feature and focal point. The standard thickness is 2mm.
Corten Steel, also known as weather resistant steel is a very strong steel alloy. As soon as the steel is exposed to the elemants it will naturally weather and develop a protective layer of rust, which provides protection from any firther corrision.
Our Corten Steel products are delivered in an unweathered state in which the process will take 4-5 months to complete the rusted effect and have a 5 year warranty.
Brand Information
Big K Products UK Ltd has been importing charcoal products into the UK for the past 40 years. The company originally imported pre-packed products to supply the restaurant market. However, as the home barbecue market grew in the early seventies, Big K naturally expanded in this area. Big K has since diversified its operation to include a winter range such as coal products, hardwood logs and kindling wood as well as introducing a range of outdoor living products to the UK. Big K can now be viewed as a company, who sells fuel all year around.
Material Information
Corten Steel Characteristics:
Corten Steel (also known as weathering steel) is a special steel originally developed for bridge building and skyscraper construction due to its incredible strength. It develops a protective, striking rust appearance on exposure to the weather, creating warm rich textures not always associated with metal. Corten steel can add a unique and beautiful element to any garden or outdoor space. It has a rusty, earthy appearance that can add a natural and rustic feel to outdoor spaces. Over time, the steel develops a natural patina that can create a sense of age and history in the garden. Corten steel has a rough, textured surface that can create an interesting contrast with smooth materials like stone, concrete, or glass. This contrast can add depth and visual interest to outdoor spaces. Corten steel is a highly durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist corrosion. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture, garden sculptures, and other garden features that will be exposed to the elements. It does not require painting or maintenance to prevent rusting.
Corten steel can add a stunning and unique element to any garden or outdoor space. Its rustic appearance, textural contrast, sculptural quality, durability, and low maintenance make it an excellent choice for garden features and furniture that will enhance the beauty of the garden for years to come.
When you first receive your corten steel products they will arrive in an un-weathered or partly weathered condition. This means they may be only partly rusted and could show manufacturing marks. Once placed outside the weathering process will begin which is when the rust covering will develop and any manufacturing marks or scuffs will disappear. This process takes several months and corten steel has a reactive patina period from 3 to 9 months depending on location and climate. The patina or rust acts as a protective barrier, not penetrating or compromising the structural integrity of the material. During the weathering process the corten steel produces carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials such as stone or concrete. To reduce this possible staining, the majority of corten steel products are supplied with small feet, lifting the product and preventing direct contact with the flooring material. After the initial reactive period Corten Steel will cure and self-seal with little to no carbon runoff.
The colouration of each item will vary as the weathering process takes place, eventually producing a rusty brown patina. Due to the chemical composition of corten steel, a very dense oxidisation layer is formed during the weathering process which protects the blue steel inside. If this protective barrier is compromised, it will simply form a new skin to protect itself. Corten steel is extremely durable and has a far higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than other steels, which is why it is ideal for use in fire-pits, planters and water features.
