Zahner's Solanum Steel is a next-generation preweathered steel surface that offers rich earth tones and enduring beauty. Solanum Steel outperforms conventional weathering steel by undergoing a multi-stage preweathering process that accelerates the transformation of the base steel alloy, delivering a fully transformed oxidized surface on day 1 that can take months or even years to develop naturally.
Due to the artisanal nature of creating authentic metal patinas, each sheet of Solanum Steel is unique and subject to inherent variations and inconsistencies in color, luster and pattern, and may change in appearance over time.
