Structural weathering steel
We only use S355J0WP type steel according to EN 10025, CE-marked for structural uses - commonly known as corten steel - which allows us to combine exceptional durability with a strong aesthetic connotation, creating an ideal chromatic combination between wood and the color of oxidized steel.
