Why choose Corten steel this winter? Prepare your garden for a beautiful spring!

Winter is often seen as a period of rest for the garden. But did you know that it's also the ideal time to install Corten steel elements? This material, appreciated for its durability and unique aesthetic appeal, is perfect for structuring your outdoor space, even during the coldest months. By planning your landscaping now, you give Corten steel time to develop its magnificent natural patina, which will enhance your garden as soon as spring arrives.

Corten steel: the perfect material for winter

Corten steel is specially designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Unlike other metals that deteriorate with humidity or frost, Corten develops a natural protective layer of rust on the surface. This patina acts as a barrier against corrosion, making the material extremely durable and weather-resistant.

Why is it a good idea to install your Corten steel items during the winter?

1. Outstanding weather resistance: Rain, snow, frost... nothing can alter the strength of Corten steel. It's made to withstand the harshest winters without tedious maintenance.
2. A natural patina process: In the winter, climatic variations (rain, cold, humidity) accelerate the formation of the protective patina. By installing your planters, borders or braziers now, you can enjoy their warm, even colour from spring onwards.
3. Timeless beauty: The rusty colour of Corten steel adds a warm, elegant touch to your garden, even when the vegetation is dormant.
