Corten steel as roof finish for all barrel saunas

At Happy Timber we are always looking for new ways to make our products not only more functional, but also more stylish. That is why we are proud to introduce a brand new option for our barrel saunas: corten steel as a roof finish!

What is corten steel?

Corten steel is a special type of steel that develops a natural oxide layer over time. This layer protects the steel from further corrosion, meaning it won’t rust like other metals. Instead, it gets a beautiful, warm orange-brown color that deepens over time, giving it a very natural and timeless look.

Why choose corten steel for your barrel sauna?

There are numerous advantages associated with using corten steel as a roof finish for your barrel sauna:

  • Durability: Corten steel is extremely robust and resistant to all weather conditions. It requires minimal maintenance and will last for years without deteriorating in quality.
  • Unique appearance: The characteristic rust colour of corten steel gives your sauna a warm, organic look that blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings of your garden.
  • Natural aging process: Unlike other materials, corten steel actually becomes more beautiful as it ages. The aging process ensures that each barrel sauna gets a unique look.
  • Weatherproof: Thanks to the unique properties of corten steel, it can withstand rain, snow and sun, making it ideal for outdoor use. You don't have to worry about wear and tear or fading of the colour.

Perfect for modern and natural gardens

Corten steel is the perfect choice for anyone who loves modern, minimalist designs, but also for those who want their sauna to blend in with a natural environment. Whether you opt for a sleek garden with modern elements, or a rustic outdoor space full of greenery, the warm color and texture of corten steel always form a beautiful contrast or an addition to your landscape.
