Ruukki Construction will launch a new Ruukki®Patina panel in June 2021. The panel combines energy savings with a patinated surface to bring a new long-sought look to the façades of buildings. The steel surfaces of the Ruukki Patina panel have been made from Cor-Ten® steel, which in particular is popular with architects.
The Ruukki Patina panel is also an energy panel, with an air tightness that can deliver savings of up to 20% in a building’s energy costs. Lower energy consumption also reduces carbon emissions during the useful life of the building and improves the building’s LEED and BREEAM ratings.
Cor-Ten steel is one of the most ecological choices since it is uncoated steel. After its useful life, the steel can be fully recycled.
Ruukki’s product development has addressed panel durability and sustainability. Ruukki has applied for a patent for the anti-corrosion panel joining structure especially engineered for Ruukki Patina panels. The joints between the panels have been made in such a way that the patina does not progress to the joints as this would make the panels brittle. Patina panels are long lived and the brown surface takes on a patina during the course of time, which means the surface repairs itself if, for some reason, small scratches appear on the surface.
Ruukki Patina is a sandwich panel, which is a prefabricated wall element consisting of an insulation layer between two steel sheets. Besides industrial, commercial and logistics buildings the sandwich panels are also suitable for other types of buildings.
Ruukki Patina panels are made in Ruukki’s Alajärvi and Oborniki plants.
