The wording 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 sign. Our standard thickness is 1.5mm thickness steel (0.0598 inches or 16 gauge). Each sign is 250mm wide and 75mm high. wide and 125mm high and is supplied with or without screw holes (image shows with screw holes).
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.
