Tresoldi Metalli offers a pre-coated aluminium to achieve the aesthetic effect of corten in a product that is easy to use and maintain.<\/p>\n
Corten\u2019s aesthetic charm and success<\/strong><\/p>\n In recent years, we have seen an increasingly widespread use of corten, which is a steel resistant to the elements that takes on a rust-like appearance after years of exposure to them. Corten combines functional characteristics with high-impact aesthetics, thanks to its natural oxidation that gives off genuine and lively colour shades. Corten, however, has its drawbacks.<\/p>\n Disadvantages to corten steel<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite its widespread use, corten steel is a delicate oxidised material that must be kept away from water stagnation and often, after oxidation, can stain floor and any surrounding environment with rust.<\/p>\n Cortal: the alternative solution by Tresoldi<\/strong><\/p>\n To overcome these problems, Tresoldi Metalli, in partnership with Novelis, has developed Cortal, an alternative 5005 aluminum alloy coated in a 25 \u03bcm polyester layer.<\/p>\n Cortal: great-impact aesthetics<\/strong><\/p>\n Cortal has an irregular surface and a texture that has no equivalent among coated metals; it looks antique to the eye and gives off iridescent colour shades to achieve a warm and lived-in aesthetic effect.<\/p>\n Easy to install and maintain: aesthetics meets practicality<\/strong><\/p>\n The new Tresoldi material avoids all the application and maintenance challenges that are typical of corten. Its scratch-resistant finish makes cortal sturdier; furthermore, it is decisively lighter to handle and less susceptible than corten to the elements and other environmental agents.<\/p>\n A wide range of applications and versions available<\/strong><\/p>\n Cortal can be used for fa\u00e7ades and roofs, as well as for gutters and downspouts.<\/p>\n Tresoldi Metalli has different thicknesses available in stock: 0.7, 0.8, 1 and 1.5 mm that can be cut-to-size to meet the most discrete needs.<\/p>\n
