Italia is a unique louvred product made from weathering steel. It is suitable for wall cladding and screening applications.

Manufactured from corten, a steel alloy which eliminates the need for painting by forming a stable, rust-like patina. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. The appealing quality is that the steel changes colour, over time, from russet to sand brown and finally dark brown.

Screening

  • Italia/100 Corten provides 100% visual screening

  • Italia/80 Corten provides 80% visual screening

Although corten as a raw material is more expensive than regular mild steel, the end cost of the manufactured panel is similar as it requires no finishing treatments. It therefore has a low environmental impact and is maintenance-free for its entire life-cycle.

Note: special attention must be paid to the drainage of rainwater to prevent staining of surrounding surfaces.
