Water features in CorTen steel: the perfect addition to your garden

Why install a Corten steel pond or fountain
in your garden?

Water and fire are the most powerful elements for creating a unique atmosphere in a garden. And when you combine the softness of a fountain or pond with the raw nobility of corten steel, the result is as spectacular as it is long-lasting. But aesthetics aside, why choose a corten steel fountain or pond for your garden? Let us explain.

A material that enhances water

Corten steel is characterised by its natural rusty patina, which evolves with time and the elements. Along the sides of a pond or as a support for a fountain, this material creates a striking contrast: the warmth of the rust against the freshness of the water.

• The mirror effect of the water further accentuates the coppery reflections of the Corten steel, creating a lively light effect that changes throughout the day.

Creating a focal point in the garden

A Corten steel pond or fountain immediately becomes the heart of the garden. It's a call to contemplation and relaxation, a central element that structures the space.

• In a small garden, a wall-mounted Corten steel fountain is an eye-catcher that doesn't overwhelm the space. In a large plot, a rectangular pond in Corten steel provides an elegant, contemporary structure.

Unrivalled durability

Unlike other materials, Corten steel is not affected by humidity. Its patina acts as a natural protection against corrosion. As a result, a Corten steel pool or fountain can be left outside all year round, without any specific maintenance.

• No need for paint, varnish or yearly treatment: it ages naturally, and this is precisely what gives it its character.

The sound of water to soothe the mind

Installing a fountain also means introducing a relaxing background sound into your garden. Combined with Corten steel, this source of well-being also becomes a design object, serving to promote serenity.

• Tip: in urban or semi-urban areas, a fountain can gently mask ambient noise, to restore a bubble of peace and quiet to the home.

An environmentally responsible solution

Corten steel is 100% recyclable and produced locally in Europe. Choosing a Corten fountain or pond means making a sustainable, responsible choice that's consistent with a natural or ecological garden approach.
