1.What is corten steel wall cladding

 

Corten Steel Wall Cladding is an external wall cladding made from Corten Steel material. This material develops a stable rust-like appearance when exposed to weather conditions, forming a protective layer against further corrosion. It is one of the more corrosion-resistant and resistant to high temperatures and pressures types of weatherboarding. This is why Corten steel wall cladding is used in a wide range of applications such as residential homes, commercial buildings and public spaces.
 
AHL Steel Group, as a professional corten steel manufacturer, can provide corten steel plates in sizes ranging from 1mm-200mm and widths ranging from 1000mm-4000mm, and we can also provide customized processing services according to the needs of building design.
 
If you want the building itself to have unique decorative and ventilation or reduce direct solar energy purposes, while maintaining privacy and other multifunctional properties, you can also Corten steel siding panels can be laser cut according to different patterns provided by the designer to achieve the desired results! What are you waiting for?

2.What are the advantages of using corten steel curtain wall?

 

Durability and longevity: Weathering steel itself is known for its resistance to weathering. The protective rust layer that forms on its surface protects the underlying material from corrosion, making it extremely durable, so it lasts a long time and is low or no maintenance;
 
Attractive and unique appearance: Weather-resistant steel curtain wall with their warm bronze tones respond to the contrast of their surroundings with a unique and eye-catching visual effect. And this natural patina will continue to change over time, adding a more decorative and unique look to the building's exterior.
 
Low Maintenance: corten steel curtain wall requires little maintenance once it has developed a protective rust-resistant coating in the outdoor environment. This makes it one of the best choices for larger projects, as maintenance can be both expensive and time-consuming when compared to different steels. This is precisely what corten steel avoids, making it an extremely cost-effective choice.
 
Sustainable environmental performance: Corten steel façade panels are environmentally friendly because they are 100% recyclable, and because corten steel requires significantly less energy to produce than other metals. The inherent longevity of corten steel also reduces the need for replacement, contributing to the sustainability of the building.
 
Flexibility for modern design: Weather-resistant steel curtain walls can be customized with a variety of finishes, perforations or patterns to suit the style and requirements of different building designers, allowing architects and designers to create their own distinctive and innovative look while ensuring the safety of the building itself.

3.What are the different building application scenarios of corten steel siding?

 

Corten steel wall panels offer a wide range of design possibilities and versatility, and can be custom-designed to suit different architectural scenarios:

a. Exterior perforated panel design: AHL STEEL perforated corten steel wall panels are ideal for building exteriors that can allow light to pass through while maintaining the privacy of the interior environment, and are mostly used for the exterior walls of residential and commercial office buildings. And many residential and office building owners will design their own logo or pattern to make the building more unique.
 
b. Textured panels for interior walls: AHL STEEL corten is available in a variety of textures such as ribbed, fluted, etc. corten steel wall panels are perfect for adding depth and character to interior walls. These can be designed to provide a different focal point on the exterior walls of villa lobbies or feature walls in reception areas or even living spaces.
 
c.Ventilated louvered panels: AHL STEEL supplies louvered types of corten steel façade panels for applications that require ventilation, such as parking lots, industrial buildings, or large museums with touring properties in architectural landscapes with high levels of foot traffic and vehicular traffic. These panels keep air circulating and prevent discomfort caused in densely populated situations, while providing a rustic, modern look.

4.How to install weathering steel cladding correctly and safely?

 

The correct, standardized and safe installation of weathering steel cladding is essential to ensure the personal safety of architects, workers and those around the building and to ensure the longevity, structural integrity and aesthetics of the building itself. AHL Steel offers this comprehensive installation advice guide to help you through the process:
 
a. Consult with building experts and site surveys: Communicate with architects, engineers and manufacturers as early as possible in the planning stage to ensure that the design and installation meets the safety objectives and building code requirements of your country;
Investigate on-site the surrounding environmental conditions and the structural load-bearing capacity of the building; select the appropriate grade and thickness of weathering steel for the project.
 
b. PROPER SAFETY RECOMMENDATION: First, a small portion of the cladding can be constructed as a mock-up and used to verify installation method, alignment, and appearance. This helps to identify any potential problems before proceeding with the complete installation.
 
Second, it is recommended that panels be installed starting at the bottom and working your way up to ensure that each panel is level and correctly aligned; the use of a laser level will maintain accuracy.
 
Third, it is recommended to leave appropriate gaps between panels to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Ensure overlaps and joints are designed to drain effectively to prevent water infiltration.
 
Finally, include proper ventilation behind the cladding to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to corrosion and other problems.
 
c. Safety precautions: Installers should wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety glasses and steel-toed boots, to prevent cuts from sharp edges and heavy materials that could pose a hazard to their safety. And there's also the added benefit of ensuring a safe workplace with solid scaffolding, fall protection systems and clear communication between the installation team. Use appropriate lifting equipment and techniques for handling heavy panels to reduce the risk of injury or material damage.
 
d. Once the installation is complete, the cladding needs to be checked for alignment, tightness, and any signs of damage or improper installation. Address any problems immediately. Although weathering steel is low maintenance, it should be inspected periodically for any unusual corrosion or structural problems. Remove any debris that may trap moisture in the steel.
