Cor-Ten Steel Overview
Cor-Ten Steel (weathering steel) contains copper, chromium, and nickel alloys that form a protective rust layer when exposed to weather. This surface oxidation prevents further corrosion, maintaining strength and character.
-
Available thicknesses: ⅛” and ¼”
-
Ships in its natural silver state; the rust patina develops naturally over time
-
No paint or clear coat is applied
-
Each installation will weather uniquely depending on exposure
-
Note: Cor-Ten can stain surrounding surfaces — avoid mounting near porous or stainable materials
Installation Environments
Flat cut metal letters and logos are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Each metal is designed to perform in specific conditions:
-
Aluminum and Stainless Steel: Excellent for exterior applications
-
Brass, Bronze, and Copper: Ideal for interior or covered settings
-
Cor-Ten: Outdoor only (natural weathering)
