Weathering steel can be misunderstood due to its natural “patina” finish. It behaves more like stainless steel once it has developed its outer rust layer. The surface layer actually protects the material from further corrosion, and due to natural development in its environment, slowly changes colour over a long time. This guide explains what to expect from this material, and how to maintain it.
