Corten Steel Planters – what makes them special
A planter made of corten steel is an effective way to showcase plants in a modern way while simultaneously providing them with optimal growth conditions. Unlike planters made of plastic or clay, corten steel planters boast exceptional durability and weather resistance – as well as a very modern, striking appearance. Corten steel is characterized by its rust patina, which develops in vibrant orange-red hues.
This is how your flower pot gets the typical corten steel look.
When your new corten steel planter is delivered, it will still have a grey metallic color. No need to worry, as the characteristic rust patina will only develop over time when exposed to the elements. The alternating periods of dryness and moisture cause the steel to acquire its unique appearance.
