Corten steel planter – Oren

Oren is a round planter made of 2 mm corten steel. Ideal as an unconventional alternative to the arrangement of gardens, terraces and balconies. The planter fits superbly into spaces decorated in the Scandinavian, rustic, loft, industrial, as well as plenty more types of modern styles. Its unique appearance will also attract a lot of attention in urban spaces; cafes, parks and promenades. Planters made of corten steel are extremely durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions. The unusual, eye-catching appearance of corten planters and their numerous practical qualities have been appreciated by a wide range of urban planners as well as interior and garden designers. What’s more, corten steel planters are offering a chance to experience their extraordinary design throughout all different stages of their usage. A rugged, rusty surface that blends beautifully with plant and flower greenery undergoes constant, dynamic color changes over the years. From light brown, warm color right after production, corten steel turns into an increasingly intense, deep black for a period of about 40 years. Corten products are real works of art, which are gaining more and more popularity each year. Thanks to the drainage system for excessive rainfall, corten steel planters significantly facilitate the proper care of plants, protecting them against overflows. Also, thanks to a reliable and stable base, you don’t have to worry about preparing the ground.

Corten is a weathering type of steel developed to avoid having to paint steel for protection. Thanks to the content of elements such as copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus, it proves increased resistance to corrosion and to extreme weather conditions. Appropriate selection of alloying elements causes copper oxides to release on the surface of products made of corten in the form of a thin coating. This coating, however, is completely tight, durable and does not process deeper into the material, thus there is no loss of sheet thickness, and there is no flaking. Therefore, products made of corten steel are very durable and require very little maintenance.
