Patina – the natural protective coating for fences and railings
We offer our wrought iron fences and railings with powder coating, galvanization, or uncoated. With the uncoated version, an attractive patina forms on the metal over time. But what is patina? Why is it so popular, and why don't you have to worry about rusting through? In this article, we answer the most important questions about patina.
What is patina?
Patina forms on metal through controlled oxidation. Patina is a protective layer of rust. This patina gives the metal a unique, rustic appearance while protecting it from further corrosion. Unlike ordinary rust, patina is stable and adheres firmly to the metal.

What distinguishes "rusty" fences and railings
- Durability: The patina layer serves as natural corrosion protection and extends the lifespan of your fence or railing.
- Appearance: The warm, reddish-brown patina is a beautiful eye-catcher, has a unique character, and blends harmoniously into any environment.

- Environmentally friendly: Patina is resource-saving and sustainable, as it does not contain harmful chemicals.
Why you No need to worry about rust penetration.
The patina layer is not an ordinary layer of rust, but a stable patina that protects the underlying metal. Controlled oxidation creates a dense layer that prevents moisture and oxygen from penetrating. This effectively stops corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patina
What is the difference between rust and patina?
While normal rust develops uncontrollably and damages the metal, patina is a controlled oxidation that forms a protective patina. Patina protects the metal from further corrosion and gives it an aesthetic appearance.
How do I get patina?
Patina is created by a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water. In the production of patina products, this process is specifically controlled to achieve a uniform and beautiful patina. We do not recommend creating patina yourself, as the result can be uncontrollable.
How do you care for patina?
Patina is very easy to care for. It basically requires no special maintenance. Occasionally, you can clean it of dust and dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the patina.
Is patina the same as Corten steel?
Yes and no. Corten steel is a steel material specifically developed for the formation of patina. Corten steel is the material, and patina is the rust layer that forms on this material.
Can I paint patina?
No, you should not paint patina, as the paint would cover the natural patina.
