OUR BRIEF

A curtain wall is defined as thin, usually aluminum-framed wall, containing in-fills of glass, metal panels, or thin stone. The framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building.The primary purpose of a curtain wall system is to protect the building interior against the exterior natural phenomena such as sun exposure, temperature changes, earthquake, rain, and wind. This protection can be separated into two major categories, namely structural safety and interior environmental control.

Corten steel is also known as weathering steel. This steel is a group of steel alloys that were developed with the purpose to eliminate the need to paint it. Instead, it would form a rust-like appearance once it has been exposed to various weather conditions such as rain and wind over a prolonged period. Having a corten steel fencing that does not require any painting sounds like something that can make life just a bit easier! Regardless, if your corten steel fencing looks rusty, it is still corrosion-resistant and thick. How come? The reason behind it is that the surface of the steel forms a protective oxide layer when it is exposed to the weather. Meaning by rusting, the steel protects itself. Even better, this protective surface layer continues to regenerate over the years due to exposure to weather.

CORTEN is a specialised product made from of a group of steel and alloy materials. When it is left unprotected or sealed and exposed to the elements it will develop a very unique rust patina. The Corten Steel was originally developed for its versatile strength and its earthy rust finish has made it a popular building material for facades and art pieces. Despite the corrosion on the surface of CORTEN Steel, the material still contains twice the tensile strength to that of mild steel making it an ideal structural building material as well.
