About Corten as a material choice for modern bird baths

Corten is a steel that achieves a beautiful deep reddish-brown color under the influence of weather and wind. Changing weather conditions transform its surface from ordinary steel paint to eventually achieve a thin protective reddish-brown rust layer. It is an oxidation process of the steel surface that starts with the help of weather and wind. Over time, this process causes the corrosion of the steel to stop. The rust layer that forms thus becomes self-protective for the steel and adheres to the metal surface which prevents moisture from penetrating. The insulating patina resists corrosion, requires no painting or weather insulation and does not compromise structural strength.

When the steel oxidizes, it acquires an earthy and vibrant color. Corten is very expressive when you mix it with greenery, modern environments and material choices such as glass and concrete. The oxidation process of the steel becomes noticeable already after 6 months of outdoor use, but it takes about 2 years for the steel to achieve an evenly roasted surface if you do not speed up the process by, for example, brushing on salt water. This outdoor fire place / plant bowl/ modern bird bath is pre-treated. Therefore it has a nice rusty surface that gets more beautiful as years go by.

If you want to avoid rust in the water, you can brush on a plant based wax from rapeseed, soy or coconut. See our <instrutional video here> for further information.
