Chimney fan Corten
Gemi's Corten chimney fan delivers the same 3,800 m³/h extraction capacity and 700°C operating temperature as the professional stainless steel model, finished in weathering steel that develops a characteristic rust-brown patina forming a stable, self-sealing oxide layer. Manufactured in Italy, the Corten model is specified by architects and self-builders for contemporary and industrial-aesthetic projects where standard metallic finishes would appear out of place. The Corten model is stocked for immediate UK dispatch at factory pricing. All specifications, installation procedures and included accessories are identical to the professional AISI 304 model, with the single distinction of the outer casing material.
Weathering steel: appearance and performance
Corten — the trade name for a family of weathering steel alloys — forms a dense, adherent rust layer within two to three years of outdoor exposure. Unlike ordinary mild steel, this patina does not continue to corrode; it arrests further oxidation and protects the underlying metal without paint, lacquer or any periodic surface treatment. The deep amber-to-brown tones intensify over time, producing an appearance that architects increasingly specify alongside timber cladding and exposed concrete.
Suitable for contemporary and rural architecture
Where a copper fan suits a Georgian chimney stack and stainless steel suits a modern urban roofscape, Corten suits agricultural conversions, rural self-builds, artist studios and any setting where a warm oxidised finish reads as intentional rather than neglected. The fan dimensions and adjustable base ring are identical to the full professional range, so fitting is straightforward on any standard round or square flue terminal.
Professional specification, unchanged
Six-speed controller, heat-resistant cable and 3-year manufacturer's guarantee are included as standard. The fan unit installs without masonry work in under an hour and connects to the indoor controller via the supplied cable.
