Explained: Corten steel vs aluminium pond basin
Creating a beautiful garden makes our home more complete. A pond is an elegant addition to your garden and if you're interested in one, you may have heard of various options including corten steel and aluminum pond basins. But what's the difference?
Corten steel, also known as 'weathering steel', is a specific type of material known for its natural rust layer that provides the pond basin with extra protection against wear and tear. It's durable and strong, making it perfect for ponds. The rust-brown color of corten steel adds a rustic charm to your garden. It's unique in that, despite it rusting, it doesn't break down or diminish in strength. This robustness and durability make the corten steel pond basin an excellent long-term investment.
On the other hand, aluminum is a lightweight, yet strong material. Aluminum pond basins are also recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice. They have a modern and sleek look, which pairs well with minimalist garden design.
All our ponds are internally coated with polyurea. Polyurea plastic coating is a two-component polymer, with a high molecular density. This delivers a very tough and extraordinarily elastic layer of protection after a brief exothermic reaction. This ensures excellent quality for our ponds.
The choice between a corten steel or an aluminum pond depends entirely on your personal preference and the style of your garden. Both materials have their own unique advantages. corten steel offers a strong, durable and rustic pond that provides a beautiful sight. Aluminum, on the other hand, offers a light and modern look.
The most important thing when choosing a pond basin is that it fits with your garden design and meets your personal needs. Both corten steel and aluminium pond basins are high-quality choices that give your garden a unique and beautiful look. Don't forget that ponds are a maintenance-sensitive product, as they contain stagnant water. So whatever option you choose, make sure you take good care of it to get the most out of your purchase.
