In this era of pursuing the harmonious integration of nature and modernity, people's aesthetic pursuit of the living environment is increasing day by day, and they are eager to find a resting place in the busy urban life that can touch the soul of nature without losing the sense of modern design. It is precisely based on this market insight and aesthetic pursuit that we have successfully introduced Corten Steel, a unique material that is unique in the world, into the creative field of outdoor waterscape design, thus not only opening a new era of water feature art, but also Injecting unprecedented vitality and inspiration into the garden landscape design.
Corten Steel, known for its unique weather resistance, can gradually show rich layers of rust color changes in the natural environment. This change is not only a trace of time, but has become a witness of time and a creator of beauty. Its rust color gradually transitions from the initial orange-red to deep brown, complementing the surrounding vegetation, stone and other natural elements, creating a harmonious and symbiotic visual effect.
The answer is yes! Corten Steel has shown extraordinary potential in outdoor waterscape design with its unique weather resistance, beautiful rust color changes and excellent durability. It can not only elegantly serve as the edge decoration of the waterscape and blend into the surrounding environment, but also directly assume the responsibility of the main structure of the waterscape, such as the backboard of the waterfall, the support of the water wall or the edge of the pond.
In the waterfall design, the solidity and stability of Corten Steel provide a solid support for the water flow, while its unique rust color and the splashing water droplets complement each other, forming a breathtaking natural picture. The water pours down from a high place, colliding with the surface of Corten Steel to produce a crisp and pleasant sound, adding a touch of liveliness and vitality to the outdoor space.
In the application of the water wall or the edge of the pond, the texture of Corten Steel forms a sharp contrast with the softness of the water flow, but achieves a high degree of visual harmony and unity. As time goes by, the rust color on the surface of Corten Steel gradually deepens, interweaving with the green of the surrounding plants and the waves of the water surface, creating a tranquil and profound beauty.
In addition, the easy processing and plasticity of Corten Steel also provide designers with a wide range of creative space. Whether it is the simplicity and clarity of the straight line or the softness and smoothness of the curve, Corten Steel can easily handle and meet the needs of various design styles.
Therefore, Corten Steel can not only be directly applied to the main structure of the waterscape, but also add a different style to the waterscape through its unique material properties, enjoy the beauty of nature, and feel the charm of modern design.
As a steel material, Corten Steel is not designed to hold water. Corten Steel is used more as a structural support or boundary definition in water features, rather than as a container to hold water directly. For example, in water features such as waterfalls, water walls or ponds, Corten Steel can be used to construct background walls, edge enclosures or support structures, thereby indirectly defining and supporting the existence of the water feature.
Although Corten Steel itself does not directly hold water, through careful design and construction, it can serve as a support structure or boundary for water features, indirectly "holding" the water feature. The key is to ensure that the watertightness around the Corten Steel structure is properly handled to prevent water leakage.
When applying Corten Steel to outdoor waterscape installations, it is crucial to ensure its water tightness and durability. To achieve this goal, we have adopted a series of advanced waterproofing technologies and meticulous construction steps to ensure an indestructible barrier between water and the steel body.
First, we will carry out professional anti-rust treatment on the surface of the Corten Steel structure. This step is the basis of waterproofing work, because rust will seriously damage the strength and stability of the steel, and then affect the safety of the entire waterscape installation. We use efficient rust inhibitors or anti-rust paints to form a dense anti-rust layer on the surface of the steel by brushing, spraying or dipping, which effectively isolates the erosion of moisture and oxygen.
Next, we will apply high-performance waterproof coatings on the surface of the steel after anti-rust treatment. These waterproof coatings have excellent weather resistance, water resistance and anti-penetration, and can resist erosion from external factors such as moisture, ultraviolet rays, and chemicals for a long time. We select the appropriate type of coating and coating thickness according to specific needs to ensure that the coating can adhere closely to the surface of the steel to form a solid waterproof barrier.
In addition to waterproof coatings, we also use auxiliary waterproof materials such as rubber sealing strips in key parts. These sealing strips have good elasticity and sealing properties, and can fit tightly in the joints between steel and other materials, effectively preventing moisture penetration and ensuring that each joint is properly handled.
In addition, we also pay special attention to detail processing. During the welding process, we will use high-quality welding materials and welding processes to ensure the strength and sealing of the welds. After welding, we will also grind and seal the welds to eliminate defects such as weld nodules and pores, and further improve the waterproof performance of the welds.
We have formed the waterproof system of Corten Steel waterscape devices through professional anti-rust treatment, coating of high-performance waterproof coatings, application of auxiliary waterproof materials such as rubber sealing strips, and fine detail processing. This system not only ensures the watertightness and durability of the waterscape device, but also provides a strong guarantee for its long-term stable operation.
We have to admit that in the initial investment stage, the price of Corten Steel may indeed be slightly higher than ordinary mild steel. This difference is mainly due to factors such as Corten Steel's unique material characteristics, production technology, and market supply and demand.
However, when we look at these two materials from a longer-term perspective, Corten Steel demonstrates long-term economic and aesthetic value that is difficult to match with mild steel. First of all, Corten Steel is known for its excellent weather resistance and can maintain stable performance in outdoor environments for a long time without frequent maintenance or replacement, thus greatly reducing later maintenance costs. In contrast, low carbon steel is prone to rust and corrosion in outdoor environments and requires regular maintenance and repair, which undoubtedly increases the cost of use.
Therefore, the long-term economical, aesthetic value and environmental protection characteristics of corten steel water feature make it a better choice. We sincerely invite you to witness the unique charm of this innovative design! Contact us for more details.
