This is the option to choose for our signature rustic, corten-style appearance. “Corten-style” describes the look, not a confirmed steel grade.

Test a small area first, wear gloves and eye protection, protect surrounding surfaces and avoid breathing spray mist.

Choose your mounting position carefully. Unpainted steel continues to corrode over time; the rustic appearance does not make it rust-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize \/ Dimensions — Approximate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth × overall height of the complete lotus-and-dots arrangement, scaled from 60 × 33.5cm:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 × 22.3cm (approximately 15.75 × 8.78 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 × 27.9cm (approximately 19.69 × 10.98 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 × 33.5cm (approximately 23.62 × 13.19 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70 × 39.1cm (approximately 27.56 × 15.39 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80 × 44.7cm (approximately 31.50 × 17.60 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dots are separate pieces, so final installed height depends on your spacing.
