Hello everyone,
I would like to cover this wall with a weathered steel effect, among other things... My initial idea was to use panels with a rust look, and I have other surfaces in mind as well!
Because the costs seem a bit too high for me, I am leaning towards fully bonding 2mm thick weathering steel (Corten steel) sheets (this advice was given to me by someone, supposedly)!
Does anyone have tips for me?
Thanks and best regards, hary99

Corten steel can also be coated with a clear lacquer to prevent it from oozing. Of course, the desired patina must be created beforehand.
I would be skeptical that an adhesive bond would hold well. Why not hang it instead?
Alternatively, facade panels like Alucobond are available in the desired appearance too, but they are a "fake."

Good point about staining. The appearance suffers with coating, and fake finishes are a matter of taste—I don’t like the discrepancy between feel and look.
