Cortina Collection
The beauty of the classic Italian fence
Cortina is a fence with one or more cylindrical horizontal rails and a cylindrical handrail positioned above the posts, blocked with a steel clip and patented joint. It can be made of Corten® steel or Corten® steel and wood and is suitable for delimiting cycleways and sidewalks.
A traditional design for Cortina fences
It is a solid and robust system: the handrail has the same diameter as the vertical post, thus offering a higher level of safety.
Aesthetically, we can consider Cortina as the classic Italian fence model with the typical appearance of wooden fences.
Maximum safety and integration with the environment
The Cortina collection has the advantage of having no protruding parts on top: the post does not protrude from the handrail. It blends in seamlessly with the natural landscape, but it does not offer the same degree of versatility in adapting to the contours of the terrain, so it requires very careful surveying and ad hoc designing.

The advantages of Corten® steel
Strength and durability
Corten® possesses high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance properties. It is a material that ‘self-protects’ by forming a surface patina that prevents corrosion from spreading and ensures ‘eternal’ durability.
Lower overall costs
Due to its greater mechanical strength, reduced thicknesses can be used, resulting in weight reduction. Corten® also reduces maintenance costs compared to wooden solutions.
Timeless beauty
The oxidative patina gives Corten® a warm and elegant brownish hue, allowing it to harmoniously blend into its surroundings, both in natural settings and in many architectural scenarios.
Environmental Sustainability
Corten® steel can be 100% recycled without losing any of its properties. It makes galvanizing and painting unnecessary, a fact that has a significant environmental impact.
Cortina Collection – Success stories
Vaiano municipality chooses the Cortina collection, the typical Italian fence model
For a cycleway/pedestrian walkway, the Administration of Vaiano (PO) chose the Cortina T2C model of Corten® steel fence to recreate as closely as possible the appearance of the previous wooden fence, now deteriorated, while achieving a higher level of safety and eliminating the maintenance problem.
Recreational/Social spaces enhanced by Cortensafe solutions
