Corten steel facade sub-frame.

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a robust and low-maintenance material that is becoming increasingly popular for facade cladding due to its unique rust-colored appearance and durability. For a safe and stable facade, a custom-made substructure is essential.

Sub-constructions and color-coated fasteners for Corten steel

Corten steel requires a sub-construction that handles the specific properties of weathering steel. We design systems that ensure stability and ventilation while maintaining proper material separation. With our in-house powder coating facility, we provide fasteners in the exact matching color to blend in seamlessly with the weathered steel. Share your project details for technical advice and a custom color match.

Developing the sub-frame for the Corton steel facade

Design of the Corten steel substructure:


The design starts with determining the size and shape of the facade and the environment in which it is placed. This results in a custom-made substructure that perfectly matches the properties of the Corten steel panels.


We use high-quality materials and appropriate fasteners such as screws, seals, and profiles to guarantee a watertight and sturdy construction.


Fixing of Corten steel panels:


The substructure is firmly attached to the facade with special fasteners, ensuring the Corten steel panels fit closely without gaps. Profiles such as U- and Z-profiles provide extra strength and a neat finish.


Advantages of Corten steel substructures:


Thanks to the tailored substructure, the facade remains durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance. With its experience and high-quality products, IPEX offers custom solutions that meet the highest standards in quality and sustainability.
