Corten Steel Weathering Process

Your planter is made from weathering steel, also known as Corten steel. This material is designed to develop a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This protective layer eliminates the need for painting and reduces maintenance costs.

• Upon arrival, the steel may appear gray or unfinished.
• Over time, typically within a few weeks to months depending on environmental conditions, the steel will gradually develop a distinctive rusty brown patina.
• This rust layer is a natural protective barrier that prevents further corrosion, making the planter exceptionally durable.

Accelerating the Rusting Process (Optional)

If you wish to accelerate the development of the rust patina, you can follow these steps. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when performing this process.

Limpeza xeral

To clean your planter, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the protective patina.

Dificultades de montaxe

If you encounter difficulties during assembly, ensure all parts are correctly oriented and aligned. Sometimes, a slight adjustment or gentle force may be needed to fit components together. Refer to the assembly diagram (Figure 2) for visual guidance. If issues persist, double-check that all packaging materials have been removed and no parts are obstructed.

Slow Rusting Process

The natural weathering process of Corten steel can vary depending on local climate and exposure to moisture. If the rust patina is developing slower than desired, consider using the optional acceleration method described in the Maintenance section.
