Customization Solutions
Custom Corten steel facade and cladding solutions provide flexibility in size, shape, finish, pattern, and manufacturing to accommodate various architectural concepts and project needs.
Custom Dimensions – Panels are created to the exact dimensions of the project with consideration for different elevations, joint designs, structure, installation conditions, and exact architectural coordination.
Surface Finishes – Select natural finishes, pre-weathered or sealed finishes with controlled oxidation properties to create specific patina colors, textures, and effects in different elevations on the facade.
Panel Forms – Corten steel cladding can be manufactured in flat, curved, folded, perforated, and shaped configurations to accommodate complex building envelopes and unique building geometries.
Pattern Designs – Corten steel facade panels can be laser-cut, perforated, or patterned to produce expressive surfaces and visual depth and screening effects as well as project-specific identities.
Fabrication Details – Coordinate fabrication, efficient installation, and seamless integration with facade systems are facilitated by customized edges, openings, fixings, connections, and panel configurations.
