Do you have rusty Taco Bells? Login/Join

I was wondering if we are some test market or if this new redesign was a nationwide thing. Taco Bells in Michigan are getting redesigned to have bare steel sheeting for significant parts of the front walls. They are left to intentionally rust, looking like crap and staining everything from the runoff.

Taco Bell is an excellent laxative.

Well, that is true. If you are plugged up, roll through the drive thru, but just make sure you are less than 10 minutes from home and you have a toilet ready to receive you! Wink

It's called Corten steel, it's meant to rust like that and will eventually reach a stable point and stop changing, and is a fairly common architectural design element more often found in modern custom homes and the like.

I've seen it used where it works quite well, if you're into modern aesthetics, but I don't recall seeing it in fast food restaurants. Usually custom homes. Quite edgy for a Taco Bell.
Here's an example in a modern residential setting:

I have no problems with that steel look, judging from 46and2's pictures.

I also still have an occasional meal from Taco Bell, not at all bad in my opinion.

It isn't actually deteriorating beyond a thin superficial sense, and does that by design. It's very strong, usually quite thick, and lasts a long damn time:

quote:
Corten is... a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance after several years exposure to weather.


Also, such codes/laws are part of everything that's wrong with bloated government. They go well beyond function and safety and impose purely subjective standards just because some asshole at the time thought it made sense. I have negative-infinity love for such nonsense, especially nonsense carried out by the strong arm of the law. Idiotic bullshit.

I would think if they dinged a building owner who used this type of effect, and he had his architect go to the hearing and state that this wasn't neglectful deterioration, but a designed effect, I think there's a good chance the hearing officer would accept it.

Then I'm sure all of those previously dinged would sue the city claiming that they were going for the rusty look too! Wink

I learned of this rule when I got a warning on one of my rentals that had an aluminum storm door with a steel insert (I thought the entire door was aluminum).

Government is out of freaking control.

So I guess weathered copper is illegal in your parts too?
