Add modern style and rich natural tones to your outdoors with Oxy-Shield decorative laser-cut garden features.
OXY-Shield is a specially formulated landscaping steel designed to impart a decorative rust-look without the inherent degradation of regular steel.
With similar properties to stainless steel, OXY-Shield will oxidise and form a surface coating that is resistant to corrosion and flaking.
Develops a rich, earthy patina in weeks – a favourite amongst landscapers, the rustic tones blend effortlessly into any backyard or courtyard setting.
To accelerate the effect, wipe surface clean to remove excess oils and spray regularly with a fine mist of water.
OXY-Shield products are made from a special steel alloy, with similar properties to stainless steel, forming a protective coating as it oxidises. This technology acts as a shield against corrosion, preventing further corrosion and providing a self-sustaining rust-like appearance when exposed to the weather.
The rustic patina of OXY-Shield can be accelerated by regularly adding moisture to the surface. The colour and texture of the patina will naturally change over time, depending on its age and the climate.
Oxy-Shield screens are a great way to enhance the aesthetic of any surface around the backyard. Use them to cover stained or plain walls, or use them as privacy screens.
