A weathering steel fountain is an artistic and architectural water feature crafted from weathering steel, also known as
Corten steel. This material is renowned for its distinctive rust-like appearance, which develops naturally over time when
exposed to the elements. The surface of the steel forms a protective, stable layer of rust that eliminates the need for
painting while providing exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.
The fountain often combines the raw, industrial aesthetic of the rusty orange-brown patina with the dynamic movement
of water. Designs can range from minimalist, modern structures to organic, sculptural forms. Water may flow over the textured
steel surfaces, creating contrasting visual and auditory experiences—where the rugged, earthy tone of the steel meets the
soothing sound and fluidity of water.
