Corten Steel Sheet – Durable, Stylish, and Naturally Weathered

Grade S355 Corten Steel Sheet, also known as weathering steel, is a high-strength, low-alloy steel designed for outdoor durability and aesthetic appeal. Perfect for architectural, landscaping, and artistic projects, Corten steel forms a unique rust patina over time, acting as a protective layer that prevents further corrosion and perforation. This self-healing property makes it an exceptional choice for projects where longevity and a striking rustic appearance are key.


Key Features

  • Material Quality: Crafted from Grade S355 Corten steel, it offers unmatched strength, structural integrity, and resistance to the elements.
  • Natural Rust Patina: The steel undergoes a natural weathering process, transforming from a bright metallic finish to shades of orange, light brown, and eventually a deep, rich dark brown. This patina forms a protective barrier, making the material virtually maintenance-free for outdoor use.
  • Versatility: Suitable for outdoor and indoor applications, its warm tones and textured finish complement both modern and rustic designs.
  • Customisable: We offer laser cutting and fabrication services in standard sheets and bespoke shapes to match your project’s needs.

How Corten Steel Weathers

The rusting process occurs naturally when the steel is exposed to alternating wet and dry conditions. Within 12 months, the surface begins to develop its characteristic patina, progressing to its final rich brown hue over several years.

For those who prefer a quicker rusting process, the patina can be artificially accelerated:

  1. Preparation: Clean the steel with soapy water to remove any oils or contaminants.
  2. Application: Coat the surface with a saltwater solution, ensuring the steel stays moist between applications.
  3. Environment: Perform this process in a shaded area to prevent rapid drying.
  4. Repetition: Repeat the process until the desired rust effect is achieved.

Once the patina has formed, it can be sealed with lacquer or wax to prevent staining and maintain its finish.
