Inspired by shoreline rock formations, the unique lines of Element Planters invoke contemplation and relaxation. These avant garde forms may provoke some conversation as well with this new angle on traditional shapes. These Element planters are manufactured out of Corten® steel and provide warm rich textures not always associated with metal. Beautiful earthy hues complement any environment.
About the Materials and Construction
Element Planters are manufactured from Corten®steel. Initially Corten® material was developed for bridge and skyscraper construction where a high tensile strength material was necessary with little or no maintenance. This steel alloy requires no painting and will form a stable rust-like appearance after continued exposure to the weather.
The patina or rust acts as a protective barrier not penetrating or compromising the structural integrity of the material. Corten® Steel has a reactive patina period from 3 to 9 months depending on location and climate. Corten® steel produces carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials like stone and concrete. After the initial reactive period Corten® steel will cure and self seal with very little to no carbon runoff. To clean your Element planters, use fresh warm water once monthly or once weekly in a coastal environment to remove any environmental deposits.
