About 6mm corten steel
Corten steel develops a stable, rust-like appearance after 3-10 months of exposure to the elements. This natural oxidation process produces a rich, orange-brown patina that protects the underlying metal from further corrosion. The 6mm Corten steel sheet is specifically designed for projects where strength, durability, and a distinctive finish are desired. As a weathering steel, 6mm Corten is made from an alloy that includes nickel, copper, and chromium. These elements allow the steel to form a protective layer that gives its iconic appearance and shields it from the harsh effects of weather without requiring any treatments. Unlike traditional steel, Corten steel doesn’t need painting or additional coatings to protect it from the elements, resulting in a low-maintenance, long-lasting material that’s particularly popular in construction and design.Key properties of 6mm Corten steel sheets:
- Formability: Good
- Weldability: Good
- Machinability: Excellent
- Corrosion Resistance: Fair (enhanced by the weathered patina)
Benefits of 6mm corten steel sheet
There are numerous benefits to using 6mm Corten steel sheets:- Aesthetic Appeal: The distinct rusted look makes it highly desirable for architectural and decorative projects.
- Weatherproof: The natural patina that forms on the surface provides effective protection against further rust and corrosion from the elements, making it a durable choice for outdoor installations.

- Hard-Wearing: 6mm corten steel sheet is tough and durable, with a longer lifespan compared to ordinary steel.
- Long Lifespan: The protective layer that develops means that Corten steel can outlast regular steel in outdoor conditions, making it a more economical option over time.

When rust looks good
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. There’s no need to paint this one and it just looks better with age, no wonder designers love it. For years, Corten has been the metal of choice for containers and other shipping elements. More recently, though, it’s become the material of choice for many artists, architects and interior designers. We’re proud to supply talented artists and sculptors with Corten for their gorgeous projects, including UK-based Eddie Roberts, who works the metal into stunning creations. As well as art, Corten steel cladding is extremely popular and it is often used for buildings, giving it a tough coating against the elements and an industrial-looking edge. Recently, our weathering steel was used both inside and out for the makeover of The Western, a stylish Brighton bar. We supply our weathering steel panels in a huge variety of thicknesses and sizes and our free cutting service means we can trim it down to the precise size you need, with no minimum order. Just email us for your Corten Steel prices. Whether you’re looking for stunning aesthetics, weather performance or a wonderful mix of both, it delivers.
How it’s made:

Good for:
Cladding, containers, marine transportation, bridges, general architecture, interiors, art installations, water features, sculptures, planters and many more.
Benefits:
- Hard-wearing
- Low maintenance

Weathered Corten
Corten steel is also known as weathering steel, or COR-TEN steel. It is specially formulated to provide the strength and stability of traditional steel with an attractive patina. A thin layer of oxide forms on the outside surface of the steel, giving it that attractive burnt orange colour of rust. This layer is thin and does not affect the material’s strength or longevity which is why it is so popular. In fact, that oxidised layer helps to protect the material from the elements and negates the need for finishing, which is why it was invented in the first place! Buy Metal Online sells top grade pre-weathered Corten steel sheet in various thicknesses and sizes. We can cut the sheet into custom size if required. Select the next size up from your required dimensions and request custom cutting on the order form. We will take care of the rest!How is Corten Steel Manufactured?
Corten steel is manufactured in a foundry, rolled into sheets and cut to size. It is then coated with a special oil mixture that helps create the oxidisation. The oil naturally dries and breaks down, turning to rust. This process can take anywhere between 3 to 10 months and will gradually deepen in colour and character.Benefits of Rusted Corten Steel
The advantage of buying weathered Corten steel is that you don’t need to wait for 3 - 10 months to enjoy the amazing colour and texture of Corten. This is especially relevant if you are planning on using Corten for interior decorating.Common Uses

Prime examples of where Corten steel shines is in building facades, architectural installations, garden pieces, public monuments, sculptures or civil engineering projects. Many gardens feature Corten steel, it provides a rustic look that appears completely natural, fitting into a garden theme perfectly. Corten steel can be used as:- Coverings or facades for buildings.

Corten Steel weathering – how it works:

Unweathered areas of your stairs will be the colour of freshly manufactured steel, with a dark oily coating.
- As your Corten Steel stairs begin to weather, the oily residue will break down.
- Your stairs will begin to change gradually to uniform orange-brown. Please be aware that ‘run-off’ may stain stone or concrete surfaces and bear this in mind when deciding where to place your stairs.
- After 9 months, your stairs should be almost entirely rust-coloured. Please be aware that run-off may still occur for several months after the uniform rust colour has been achieved.

Get your garden into the festive spirit with our bespoke Corten Christmas trees!
Carefully handcrafted in 3mm thick Corten Steel, our Corten Christmas trees are free standing and extra stylish. 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 – meaning your tree can last for years and years! 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. Don’t forget: Corten trees are for life, not just for Christmas! Leave them in the garden to look great all year round. Contact us today for your bespoke price on sales@buymetalonline.co.uk or 0191 2646464.Corten Trees

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
