Good formability, durability, and high tensile strength
steel
Steel impresses with its typical properties: good formability, durability, and high tensile strength. The material is used for load-bearing building structures and allows for wide-span facade constructions with slim profiles. Steel components must be protected against corrosion, for example by galvanizing or coating. Steel is an economical and sustainable material.
Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel that does not require corrosion protection. Weathering creates a rust-like surface appearance. This forms a barrier layer that protects the material from further rusting in the long term.
