Corten steel and its patina

Corten steel is enriched with phosphorus, copper, chromium and nickel. It rusts on the surface but never through, so it can stay outdoors for several decades without deteriorating. Its patina develops over about two years:

• From 1 to 3 months: a thin yellow/orange layer of corrosion appears. During this phase, rust run-off can stain wooden or concrete terraces: protect your floor.
• From 3 to 6 months: the layer becomes darker and harder.
• From 6 months to 1 year: the colour evens out, the rust becomes very solid and the run-off stops.
• From 1 to 2 years: the fire pit reaches its final shade, a more or less dark brown. Every Corten sheet is unique, and so is its colour.
