How it’s made: Galvanised steel is made when steel is fortified with a powerful layer of zinc. The metal is dipped in an extremely hot bath of molten zinc, which causes a chemical reaction, resulting in a protective layer of zinc which makes the finished product supremely tough. Whilst the zinc that’s added to steel in the galvanisation process is not magnetic, the steel itself is. The amount of zinc used is so little that it doesn’t affect the performance of the steel, meaning magnets will stick to it.
Good for: Notice boards, photography displays, shop displays, interiors or anywhere else where a surface that attracts magnets is required.
Painting: Galvanised steel can be coated in paint, but make sure you use a specialist product and primer.
Benefits:
- Attracts magnets

Additional Information
What is Plastisol?
Plastisol is a type of PVC paint coating that dries to form a tough, durable finish. This coating is known for its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and weather damage, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications.How is PVC Plastisol-Coated Steel Made?
First, the steel sheet is bathed in a hot bath of zinc, which toughens it against moisture and the elements. This galvanising process is what produces galvanised steel. Next, the 200-micron PVC paint, Plastisol, is applied to the metal’s surface in its liquid form. To finish, the Plastisol outer layer is embossed with a leather-grain pattern. The outer plastic coating combined with the galvanisation produces a material that is equipped to resist the elements and any resulting corrosion.Order PVC Plastisol-Coated Steel from Buy Metal Online

Rusted Hot-rolled Steel
A rustic patina
Our rusted hot-rolled steel makes an excellent alternative to the ever-popular Corten steel. The industrial aesthetic continues to be extremely popular in art, design and architecture, and as a result, demand for our Corten product is high. We have created a more affordable alternative to this much-loved product by adding a layer of decorative rust to the outer surface of our hot-rolled steel sheet. This means you get all the malleability and durability of hot-rolled steel, with the added benefit of a stylish orange hue. It’s worth bearing in mind that the rust effect is less uniform than that of Corten, but if you’re looking for a genuine patina, the overall effect of this finish is ideal. Our hot-rolled rusted steel is a wonderful choice for art and sculpture, where pliability is a must, but so are good looks. As with all our mild steel metals, it’s available in a huge choice of ready-cut sizes, and we can also cut it down to precisely the size you need for your project, however small, for free. There’s no minimum order, either, so whatever your project, we’ll supply you with just what you need.
Good for:
Landscaping, sculpture, art, architecture, garden accessories, blacksmithing, interior and exterior design, decorative panelling, architecture, cladding and many more.
How it’s made:
At the steel mill, ingots of mild steel are heated to a scorching 1000 degrees Celsius, then passed through two huge rollers to flatten them out into sheets. Rolling the steel out at such a high temperature makes it more malleable in the future than that which has been cold-rolled. At Buy Metal Online, we then use a chemical bath to rust the hot-rolled steel sheets, giving it the orangey hue that makes it stand out and look great.
Benefits:
- An affordable alternative to Corten
- Very malleable
- Has a distinctive, textured rust effect
- Extremely versatile

Steel Checker Plate FAQs
What is the difference between a steel chequered plate and a steel plate?
A steel chequered plate features a raised pattern of diamonds or linear strips designed for grip, while a standard steel plate is flat without a pattern or texture. The checker pattern improves safety and slip resistance.What is the purpose of a steel checker plate?
The primary purpose of a steel chequer plate is to add slip resistance. The raised pattern offers tread and increases traction, making it ideal for areas prone to slips, spills or moisture, helping prevent accidents. It’s commonly used for surfaces where grip is crucial, like flooring, ramps, stair treads, and vehicle decks.What thickness does a steel checker plate come in?
At Buy Metal Online, we offer steel chequer plates in 3mm and 4.5mm thicknesses. Sheets come in a variety of sizes and can be custom-cut to your requirements.Does a steel chequer plate rust?
Yes, untreated mild steel checker plates can rust over time when exposed to moisture. For outdoor use or in damp environments, consider painting, galvanising or applying a protective coating or sealant to prolong its lifespan.Is a steel checker plate stronger than a flat sheet?
The raised pattern adds rigidity and increases load-bearing capacity, making it more hard-wearing and durable under foot or load than a flat sheet of the same thickness. However, both share similar material strengths.Can you paint a steel checker plate?
Absolutely. Your steel chequer plate can be primed and painted with standard metal paints. Applying anti-slip paint on top can also enhance grip and prolong the lifespan of the plate.Steel Checker Plate

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Corten steel, weathering steel could be perfect for your project. Weathering steel possesses the same great properties as Corten steel, but as it doesn't carry the brand name, it costs less. Just like Corten, weathering steel starts out blue-grey in colour and weathers to a rust-coloured finish. The orange patina protects the metal from corrosion and takes 6-9 months to develop.
Please note: these sheets will arrive in their natural form, ready to weather over a period of 6-9 months. If you need your steel to arrive with the orange coating already in place, see our pre-weathered Corten steel.
When weathering steel is exposed to the elements, it reacts with oxygen and moisture in the atmosphere, a process called oxidisation. When oxidisation occurs, the metal develops a distinctive orange coating, known as a patina. This exterior coating protects the internal steel. While the auburn-hue might look like rust, it doesn't penetrate the steel, meaning the metal does not weaken or depreciate. With its good looks and lasting durability, weathering steel is a big hit with designers.
Weathering steel is a more affordable choice than Corten steel for a broad range of projects, including landscaping, art and architecture
We supply weathering steel panels in a huge variety of thicknesses and sizes and we can cut it to custom sizes, so you can just order what you need.
How it’s made:
Weathering steel is an alloy; the addition of nickel, copper and chromium at production means that as the steel is exposed to the elements it develops its protective patina.
Good for: External cladding, marine projects, architecture, water features, outdoor planters, sculptures, design features, signage.
Benefits:
- Durable
- Low maintenance
- Weather-resistant
- Visually pleasing

Zintec Steel Sheet
Tough against corrosion
What do you get when you cross mild steel with zinc? A durable, versatile metal that fares brilliantly in storage and transit. This is Zintec steel sheet and it’s one of the most popular metals for use in car bodies, electronics, white goods and a whole lot more. It’s just the job if you don’t quite need the weather-proof properties of galvanised steel, but you do need a steel sheet metal that won’t rust easily. Thanks to a clever electromagnetic process, the steel is covered in a thin layer of zinc, which makes it extra strong. It’s also smooth, making it an excellent base for enamelling and powder-coating.
Thicknesses: 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, and 3mm thick sheet.
Zintec steel (sometimes known as zinc steel) is easy to recognise thanks to its distinctive matt, bluish-hued finish. Unlike galvanised steel sheet, this metal doesn’t tend to be used for outdoor projects, but it is still incredibly tough when it comes to avoiding corrosion. Far less likely to oxidise (and subsequently rust) in transit and while it’s waiting to be used, Zintec is a great option when you know your metal will spend time being stored or transported. Just like our other metal products, our Zintec Steel Sheet comes in an array of sizes and thicknesses. Even better, our free cutting service means you get to tell us exactly how much you need, with no minimum order.
How it’s made: Cold reduced (or cold-rolled) steel is electrolytically cleaned and pickled to make sure the surface is free of any residue or oxidisation. It is then electromagnetically plated with the thin layer of Zintec, which gives it its name and its resistance to corrosion.
Good for: Car body parts, white goods, cabinets and other furniture, electronics, doors, air conditioning units, automotive parts, enamelling and powder coating.
Benefits:
- Versatile
- Strong
- Travels well
- Won’t corrode in storage
