Send MessageLos Angeles suffered its first wildfire and high wind disaster in the begin of 2025, which burned directly into residential areas. In the future, the earth's environment will pose increasingly severe challenges to our construction industry. We must use newer materials to cope with harsh environments.
Wildfires and strong winds hit cities
Modern people prefer to live in ecologically rich areas, like Forest, seaside, mountain, islands...However, these places are more vulnerable to severe weather attacks such as fire, strong winds, sandstorms, etc., so they have higher requirements for our building materials.
What kind of construction material can withstand harsh environments?
Now we have found fire-resistant weathering steels that can withstand temperatures of 600°C or even 1000°C and have wind resistance, corrosion resistance, sulfuric acid corrosion resistance, and earthquake resistance. If this fire-resistant weathering steel used in construction and planters, it will greatly reduce losses in fire and windy weather.

Where the fire-resistant weathering steel can be used?
1. Building: Like Corten steel external facade and interior facade, weathering steel screen indoor and outdoor, Weathered steel Ceiling and houseroof.
2. Planter: Corten steel flower pond, fountain, screen, fences
Corten steel art like sculpture, modeling, Lightbox, Tree rake, and Corten steel fire pit.
3. Steel structure.

Benefits of using fire-resistant weathering steel
Fire-resistant weathering steel can be used without or with less painting, greatly saving maintenance costs; the thickness of the steel can be reduced, saving costs by more than 30%. And this fire resistance and weatherability also has a permanent and self-healing - fire resistance and weatherability whether in the processing of cutting or after fire, the nature of unchanged. As the use of fire-resistant and weathering steel becomes more widespread, it also ensures safety and reduces costs. As the fire-resistant weathering steel technology continues to mature and improve, it will certainly play its own advantages in more places, bringing significant economic benefits. Also fire resistant weathering steel has unique aesthetic values, these characteristics make fire resistant weathering steel buildings an urban landscape element that is both beautiful and safe.
