For corten steel screens, although it itself has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, moisture protection is still a key part of maintenance. Humid environment is like a hidden “killer”, which will accelerate the process of rust and corrosion in the long term, not only affecting the aesthetics, but also jeopardizing the integrity of the structure. Therefore, applying a sealant or waterproofing paint to corten steel screens is the first and foremost moisture protection measure. A good quality sealant forms a tight, tough protective film on the surface of the steel sheet, acting as an invisible “armor” to prevent water vapor from penetrating the screen. During the application process, it is important to ensure that every corner is evenly covered, leaving no gaps, for impeccable moisture protection.

This extra layer of coating is like adding a strong “shield” to the steel plate mesh, which can effectively resist the attack of UV rays, slow down the aging of the coating, and prevent the direct erosion of water on the screen. It is like a loyal guardian, all-round care of weather-resistant steel mesh, so that it will remain in good condition for a long time in the outdoor environment.

An excessively thick coating may lead to uneven drying and problems such as cracking, while an excessively thin coating will not provide adequate protection. After each coat is applied, wait patiently for it to dry completely before applying the next coat.

V. Stay Away from Salt: Guarding the Protective Barrier of Corten Steel Screens


(1) The Corrosive Threat of Salt: An Unignorable Hidden Danger


Although corten steel screens, such as garden screen, large corten steel screen, corten screens, corten steel fence panels, and corten steel privacy screen, have certain corrosion resistance, salt poses a significant threat to them. When salt comes into contact with the surface of the steel screen, it reacts with the moisture in the air, damaging the naturally - formed rust - layer protective film on the surface of the corten steel screen. This protective film is originally a solid defense line against rust. Once it is damaged, the steel screen is more vulnerable to further corrosion by salt - based elements, accelerating the rusting process. Therefore, during daily maintenance and cleaning, it is essential to avoid using cleaning agents or additives containing salt to prevent damage to the steel screen.

Are you still worried about the corrosion of corten steel screens caused by salt? Don't worry. Inquire now, and we will provide you with more professional advice on salt - corrosion prevention and high - quality products. Take action now to keep your corten steel screens, whether it's a garden screen or a large corten steel screen, away from the threat of salt.


(2) Rational Site Selection: The Wisdom of Keeping Away from High - Salt Environments


If possible, when installing corten steel screens, choose areas away from high - salt environments as much as possible. For example, in coastal areas, the air often contains a high concentration of salt. These salts disperse with the sea breeze and easily adhere to the steel screen, causing corrosion. Installing corten steel screens, like corten steel fence panels or corten steel privacy screen, away from areas prone to salt exposure, such as near the ocean, can reduce the erosion of salt from the source and extend their service life. It's like choosing a "safe haven" for corten steel screens, allowing them to showcase their unique charm in a relatively mild environment.

To ensure that corten steel screens maintain a good condition during long - term use, it is crucial to develop an annual maintenance plan. Regularly inspect the condition of the steel screen every year to check for signs of rust, coating peeling, etc. Once problems are detected, deal with them promptly. At the same time, repaint with an epoxy coating like polyurethane every 3 - 5 years to consolidate the protective effect and further enhance the corrosion resistance of the steel screen. This long - term mechanism of regular maintenance and repainting is like injecting a continuous stream of "vitality" into corten steel screens, enabling them to remain sturdy and beautiful over the long river of time.
