Weathering Steel

Durable and Versatile

Comfortable in the wild outdoors, a constant witness in all seasons, weathering steel is the great Grizzly bear of modern metal. Often referred to as “Corten,” this moniker is more a compliment to it’s past than an accuracy of the current material. At Allen Architectural Metals we understand, that in order to tame the beast one must know the beast.

Why We Love It

Designed to withstand and endure in the face of the harsh and ever-changing weather. Standing tall and proud against the elements this steel alloy develops an oxidized coating of rust that protects where others would corrode.
