Rusted steel roofing products can be used in a variety of applications including roofing and siding material for commercial and residential projects.  Exterior applications: Total roofing area, an accent to a roof in conjuction with other architectural elements of design, metal siding. Interior applications: Focal point or backdrops such as a backsplash in a bath or kitchen, textured ceiling, and a wall treatment.

Old buildings with rusted roofs are normally made from galvanized roofing panels in a very light gauge thickness of 29 gauge to 26 gauge. These panels have rusted through in places causing rust patches and streaking.  Our rusted metal roofing products are made differently.  Western States Decking, Inc. uses steel made from A606 type 4 ( Commonly referred to as Corten ).  This allows the product to achieve a gorgeous deep dark rust much quicker. In addition the rusted corrugated panels are made from heavy gauge steel in a 22 GA decreasing the likelihood of rust through issues.

Traditionally there are not many options when designing your roof.  Normally the only choices for roofing your home are shingles, clay, or painted metal roofing. Using rustic metal roofing on your home or business will make it stand out against all others.

Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark corten steel, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to obviate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years. Cor-ten  is a trademarked name owned by U.S. Steel. This is not available.  What is available is steel in an A606finish.  When someone needs corten on the West Coast they are normally referring to A606.  If you want cor-ten steel this will be the best available option.Weathering steels, such as ASTM A588, A242, A606 and Corten exhibit superior corrosion resistance over regular carbon steel as a result of the development of a protective oxide film on the metals surface which slows down further corrosion. A606 steel is available in metal roofing/siding panels, standing seam panels, flat stock, and coil form.
