LindabRubigo The natural material for your facade, with a unique appearance and patina that becomes more beautiful over the years. Maintenance-free with long service life.

Rubigo. Beautiful, natural, timeless. Rubigo is a weathering steel which is principally used in facade cassettes. After exposure outdoors to rain and wind, an even, dense oxide layer (patina) is formed on the surface of the steel. The layer impedes further access of moisture from causing further corrosion. The steel is resistant to high temperatures and does not alter in size as much as standard steel due to variations in temperature. Furthermore, it does not rust as fast as standard steel. The material produces a beautifully patinated surface which requires minimum maintenance over the years....

Surface and colour When Rubigo facade cassettes are delivered to the construction site, it is possible that the patination process may have started on parts of the cassettes and/ or on certain cassettes, depending on the weather, the wrapping and the time that the cassettes have been outside. The final result after the patination process is a dark purple brown rust surface. The weather affects how long it takes before the material acquires its final appearance.
