Corten steel sheet (also known as weathering steel) is instantly identifiable thanks to its rich, bright orange tones. Originally developed for building coal carriages in 1930s America, it is now one of the most stylish and durable metals on the market. Corten steel plate might look like it's rusty, but thanks to clever manipulation in its processing, the outer oxidisation actually protects the steel from further corrosion, as well as making it look very good indeed. The picture shows our natural/raw Corten sheet when first purchased and typically what it looks like after the weathering process, which takes between 3-10 months after exposure to the elements.

Similar in appearance to steel chequer plate, diamond plate aluminium offers a non-slip surface where you need safety underfoot. More lightweight than steel tread plate, it can be easily secured to existing flooring, adding a layer of texture that’s got plenty of grip and reducing the risk of slipping. The distinctive 5-bar pattern on diamond plate makes it sought after not just for performance, but for style, too: our aluminium treadplate is often used in interior design and car modification, as well as in industry.

Our safety boots offer everything that’s needed to ensure maximum safety for the feet of you and your workforce. These steel toe boots (also known as rigger boots, or simply ‘riggers’) have a strong cap at the front to protect toes from dropped objects, along with a puncture-proof sole. They’re made from durable brown leather and come in an easy pull-on style. What’s more, they’re water resistant, electrically insulating, energy absorbing and antistatic, as well as being insulated against both heat and cold. The sturdy sole is resilient to contact with heat, and slip resistant on slippery surfaces such as ceramic and steel, plus there’s extra protection for the metatarsal area. Of course, our safety boots comply with EN ISO 2034 and Classification S1, meaning they’ve passed rigorous tests to make sure they’re up to the job. And it goes without saying that they’re cosy and comfortable too.

Safety helmets are a must in many workplaces, playing an essential role in helping to prevent injuries to the head. Our safety helmets have been carefully selected to offer comfort, durability and superb protection. The outer shell is made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), a lightweight thermoplastic with excellent tensile strength and resistance to many solvents. Inside, the cradle is made from nylon textile webbing for ultimate performance and comfort, whilst the headband is made from tough, flexible LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene). Helmets are available in a choice of sizes and com with fully adjustable straps. Our helmets conform to the latest health and safety regulations, and when fitted and worn correctly, they will offer you and your workforce protection against everything from falling objects to molten metal, giving you complete peace of mind.
