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.

Aluzinc is a flat carbon steel (steel with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight) coated with an alloy of  55% aluminium, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon. Why  Aluzinc? Aluzinc is second to none considering the worldwide proven performance and series of feedback recorded from our trusted customers. Our Aluzinc sheet is affordable and durable –  confirmed to last a very long time. Aluzinc can last over 20 years in exterior use thanks to aluminium and sacrificial protection of zinc. Owing to that, our Aluzinc is just a perfect fit anyone can choose for building construction or roof cover. It also looks good, having silvery metallic spangle, and has excellent resistance to high temperatures.

Our stunning aged Brass sheeting has been designed to make a statement and is often the focal point in any living area. The real beauty of the finish lies in the deep mellow aged look of the brass, as though it has been a part of the original interior for many years. All of our sheets are hand crafted to produced varying patinas, giving each sheet an individual bespoke finish. Our gloss lacquered products are ideal when used for decorative and design purposes. Please always handle your sheets with care and do not drop them as brass is extremely soft and blows and punches will cause the sheets to deform.

Get your garden into the festive spirit with our bespoke Corten Christmas trees!

This festive period in Santa’s workshop we are making bespoke Christmas trees to order. The Corten steel trees are a fantastic addition to any garden, looking great in all the Great British weather has to offer us, and with custom-made sizing, they can be made to suit any space! Decorate them your own way (you could even get the kids to help!) The Corten Christmas trees arrive in the natural grey finish and they will then rust over time. Left out in the elements it takes a few days to see them start to weather then up to 6 months to rust fully and seal. During the weathering period, it is recommended to keep the trees outside as the rust can transfer and may stain garments. To keep your mind at rest – all Corten trees are deburred meaning the edges are not sharp, so they are safe for children and pets. FROM £30.00 Contact us today for your bespoke price on sales@buymetalonline.co.uk or 0191 2646464.
