Paneles de revestimiento corten
Corten siding panels are commonly manufactured in grades such as ASTM A606 Type 4, ASTM A588, S355J2W, SPA-H, and Chinese equivalents like Q355NH. Standard panel sizes typically range from 1000 mm a 1500 mm in width and 2000 mm a 6000 mm in length, with thicknesses between 0.8 mm y 3.0 mm dependiendo de la aplicación. These specifications make corten steel an ideal material for modern architectural siding systems, combining durability, desempeño estructural, and a distinctive weathered appearance.
- Descripción
Corten siding panels are weathering steel cladding sheets used for building façades, container-style structures, landscape walls, and modern architectural siding systems. These panels are designed to develop a stable rust patina that protects the steel surface from further atmospheric corrosion, making them suitable for long-term outdoor applications.
When selecting corten siding panels, two key specifications are most important: material grades y standard panel sizes.
Common Corten Steel Grades for Siding Panels
Corten siding panels are produced under different international and domestic standards, but all belong to weathering steel categories.
International Grades
- Tipo ASTM A606 4 (most common for siding and thin sheet use)
- ASTM A588 (structural weathering steel)
- ASTM A242 (early weathering steel grade)
- EN S355J2W (Acero estructural europeo resistente a la intemperie)
- EN S355JOWP (improved corrosion resistance version)
- JIS SPA-H (Acero japonés resistente a la intemperie)
Grados equivalentes chinos
- Q355NH (most widely used export-grade corten steel)
- Q235NH (lower strength weathering steel)
- Q295NH (medium strength grade)
- 09CuPCrNi-A (railway and container weathering steel)
- Q450NQR1 (acero de alta resistencia a la intemperie)
Entre estos, Q355NH and ASTM A606 Type 4 are the most commonly used for siding panels in architectural applications.
Common Thickness of Corten Siding Panels
| Espesor | Solicitud |
|---|---|
| 0.8–1.2 mm | Decorative façade panels |
| 1.2–1,6 milímetros | Revestimiento de paredes ligero |
| 1.6–2,0 milímetros | Standard siding panels |
| 2.0–3,0 milímetros | Structural exterior panels |
The most commonly used range for siding systems is 1.5–2,0 milímetros.
Standard Width of Corten Siding Panels
| Ancho | Descripción |
|---|---|
| 1000 milímetros | Pequeños paneles arquitectónicos |
| 1219 milímetros (4 pie) | Export standard size |
| 1250 milímetros | Industrial standard width |
| 1500 milímetros | Most common façade width |
| 2000 milímetros | Large-scale cladding systems |
Entre estos, 1250 mm y 1500 milímetros are the most widely used widths for siding applications.
Standard Length of Corten Siding Panels
| Longitud | Descripción |
|---|---|
| 2000 milímetros | Small wall panels |
| 2438 milímetros | 8 ft standard export length |
| 2500 milímetros | Common construction size |
| 3000 milímetros | Widely used architectural length |
| 6000 milímetros | Long-span façade panels |
Longer panels are often preferred for modern architectural siding to reduce joint lines and improve visual continuity.
Typical Corten Siding Panel Size Combinations
Common ready-to-use panel formats include:
- 1000 × 2000 milímetros
- 1219 × 2438 milímetros
- 1250 × 2500 milímetros
- 1250 × 3000 milímetros
- 1500 × 3000 milímetros
