HK-Design - Corten

The Hook-on Cassette System is a secret-fix solution that can be installed in either a landscape or portrait orientation. Large cassettes can be fabricated due to the structural design of this cassette system.

Cor-Ten® A weathered steel is a weather resistant steel created by alloying steel with copper, chromium and nickel and adding phosphorous which makes the material best suited for aesthetic facades. The top layer of the material reacts with atmospheric elements to form a rust coloured protective layer which not only makes the steel virtually maintenance free but also creates a striking aesthetic.

Due to the nature of Cor-Ten® A steel, rainwater run-off may cause staining due to the rainwater partially washing away the rusted surface. Therefore, special design and drainage considerations should be taken to ensure that the rainwater run-off is channelled into a specific route to ensure that contaminated rainwater does not cause any staining.
