The distinctiveness of the look makes it one of the premier contemporary finishes of 2016/17.
To achieve the best look with Roxidan, a fibrous or large(r) grain decorative plaster should be used on at least 2 coats. Also, a combination of more colours produces a much more lively, natural effect!
Corten steel, also called weathering steel is a weather resistant alloy widely used for interior and exterior decor worldwide. Some of the most famous examples are the The Centre for Contemporary Art, in Melbourne, Australia and the The Angel of the North in the UK.
