This is a rustic steel lettering that is cut from Corten steel (304 grade). This is known as "rusty steel," cor-ten steel or weathering steel and gives a strong "industrial look" to your letters/numbers/symbols. Our standard thickness is 1.5mm thickness steel (0.0598 inches or 16 gauge).
Each steel letter can be supplied with or without holes for fixing. If you prefer pre-drilled holes and/or sealer varnish, please choose the drop down options. There is a small additional charge for the sealer varnish according to the lettering size. Rusty steel finish is supplied as standard but there is also an option to select raw steel. Raw steel is a grayish gun metal color and the rusty finish is an all natural rusty patina, full of rustic character.
Letters - there is a selection of fonts to choose from. PLEASE remember to specify whether the letters are uppercase or lowercase letters in the information box (write it out as you wish to receive these). If this is not specified, we will send out UPPERCASE letters.
Our letters start at 4" or 10mm and are £4.00 each and are sized upwards as shown.
Colour - these signs are designed to rust from an initial light rust colour that we start for you (as shown in the images on the listing). Once you have positioned your sign outside, the rust reaction will continue and the Corten sign will rust further. The colour and the patina will change and reach a rich dark umber colour (this takes 6 to 12 months depending on local weather conditions). This is the nature of this steel.
