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 giving it its striking good looks. The grey metal pictured shows our natural/raw Corten sheet when first purchased, whilst the orange-coloured metal shows how it typically looks like after the weathering process, which takes between 3-10 months of exposure to the elements. If you want your Corten ready-weathered, check out our pre-weathered Corten steel. Thicknesses: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. ⚠️ Important Note on 5mm & 6mm Corten Steel Sheets

We are unable to cut 5mm & 6mm sheets using our onsite guillotines due to the material’s strength. Instead, they must be laser cut, which requires a 10mm border around the edges. This means the usable sheet size will be approximately 20mm smaller in both length and width than the size ordered.

Example:

• Ordered size: 2500mm x 1250mm
• Usable sheet size: 2480mm x 1230mm

Please take this reduction into account when ordering, particularly if you require a finished sheet of a specific size.

Offcuts are not always available for 5mm and 6mm Corten steel sheets.

What our customers say about us: “Great value, fast and efficient. We wanted to fabricate Corten steel doors and this company shipped metal really quickly to Northern Scotland, a part of the world which many companies refuse to deliver to. The fact that they will send large sheets of steel here is greatly appreciated. The Corten steel panels cost was also very reasonable. I will definitely not hesitate or shop around next time, I will Buymetalonline.” – Peter Thompson, Trustpilot, December 2015.
