About Corten
Please note that we may dispatch a Corten Steel product at any stage of its weathering process.
Corten Weathering Steel (also known as Cor-Ten) is popularly used to create outdoor sculptures such as the Angel of the North and bridges due to its incredible strength. The name COR-TEN refers to the two distinguishing properties of this type of steel: corrosion resistance and tensile strength
Cor-ten (known as weathering steel) organically evolves to its environment, producing a vibrant orange patina, which not only protects the steel but creates a stunning rustic finish. Please see our image gallery for an example of the weathering process and colour changes the product can go through. Please note its “run off” properties as some staining to surfaces can occur in the initial curing period.
The natural weathering of Corten usually takes between 6 and 9 months depending on climate. During this time, some patina run off may occur, with possible staining to adjacent materials (such as concrete, paving slabs, tarmac, decking etc). We therefore advise customers to take this into account when initially positioning their product. Once the patina has fully developed the steel will self-seal eliminating any run off. LuxUnique are not responsible for any staining that may occur as a result of run off during the weathering process.
Cor-Ten Steel naturally weathers over time to create a beautiful rusty orange-brown patina. It is often selected for its practical benefits and corrosion resistant qualities, but recently has become the trendy choice for garden landscaping. Corten is incredibly strong and was originally developed for bridge building.
Cor-Ten Develops its own protective film which slows the rate of corrosion
Saves the cost of initial painting and the maintenance costs of repainting.
Gives corrosion protection to unpainted areas which have been damaged.
Corten Steel is extremely durable and has a far higher resistance to atmospheric corrosion than other steels.
Step by Step Weathering Guide of Cor-Ten Steel
Stage 1 – Freshly manufactured Corten Steel. At this stage the dark oily residue coats the Corten Steel
Stage 2 – The oily residue is beginning to break down, as the Corten Steel begins to weather.
Stage 3 & 4 – The “Run-Off” stage – This can take around 3-9 months depending on weather and positioning.
Stage 5 & 6 – The final stages of the weathering process. Some “Run-Off” may still occur as the Corten Steels patina develops to a striking, more consistent appearance.
Run Off
During the weathering process the Corten Steel produces carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials such as stone or concrete. To reduce any possible staining, we recommend raising the product up off the ground by placing it on a suitable slab of concrete which will prevent any direct contact with the flooring material and reduce the risk of any run off staining occurring. After the initial reactive period the Corten will cure and self-seal, with little to no carbon run off. The weathering process of this product is integral to it and as such we will not accept any responsibility for damage caused to surrounding materials as a result of carbon run off. After the initial reactive period Corten steel will cure and self-seal with little to no carbon run off.
Delivery
Delivery Information – FAQ’s
How much does it cost?
Due to the heavy nature and size of the products we offer, our delivery charges are based upon the size and weight of a product. Most of our products are dispatched on a pallet with a tail lift offload. Smaller items that can be boxed (such as log stores) are usually sent via DPD. Delivery charges are clearly stated at checkout.
Why do you charge for delivery?
The delivery charge covers the cost of processing, packing, checking and finally delivering your goods. Every order that we dispatch is processed then either selected from stock, or fabricated to order, quality checked and packaged to ensure it arrives with you in pristine condition. The costs of this process and the materials used are not added into the product cost and we simply charge what is needed to cover our costs.
Where do you deliver?
We only deliver to mainland UK at the prices set on our website. Unfortunately we are unable to ship to Northern Ireland or outside of mainland UK.
How long will I wait for my order to be delivered?
For stock items we aim to dispatch within 5 working days. Our usual dispatch days are Tuesday and Wednesday each week.
For non- stock (bespoke made to order) items our lead time is 4-5 weeks from order. We will notify you once the product has been fabricated and is ready to be dispatched.
We always endeavour to keep customers updated as to their delivery but once an item leaves us it is in the hands of the courier and we cannot be held responsible for any delays in delivery once the item has left us. Items that are shipped on a pallet usually take 2-3 days to arrive from dispatch. Tracking is available and customers will be sent a link to the tracking following dispatch of the order.
If items are larger than 2 metres in length we may deliver them using our own transport. We can only accept orders for items over 2 metres directly so please contact us for a quote.
I’d like my order to be left in a safe place or with a neighbour if I’m not in. Can you arrange this?
If you advise us of a safe place to leave the item in the event that you are not home, we will pass this information onto the courier. Since our deliveries require a signature; if you do choose to provide a safe place then we cannot accept responsibility for goods once they have been left.
Our Shipping Partners
DPD
Our log stores are shipped with DPD as these are smaller items than some of our other products. We dispatch items on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week with DPD on a next day service (Monday – Friday only). DPD offer a range of “in flight” options for customers who may not be home. They will text and email customers confirming a 1-hour time slot for delivery and provide other options if no-one is home. Sophisticated tracking is also available allowing a live map countdown to the final 15-minute time slot.
DPD have an app which is very useful for tracking deliveries, and we urge our customers to use the app to ensure the best delivery experience possible. DPD Local | Our App | Never miss a parcel delivery again!

Pallet Delivery – The Pallet Network
Most of our items are so large that delivery on a pallet is necessary. We use the Pallet Network for our pallet deliveries and we normally ship items on a Tuesday or Wednesday of each week. Pallet services are usually delivered within 3 days of dispatch and we always ask the driver to call ahead to let you know 1 hour prior to arrival. Deliveries can take place Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Pallet orders will be dropped kerbside only. We do not offer a two-man delivery service.
Pallet deliveries are not timed and as such usual delivery times are between 9am and 5pm. The tracking will be able to advise you when your order is “Out for Delivery” (OFD). Pallets can be left in a customer’s absence if there is a suitable place to do so. We will always ask the driver to call ahead but cannot guarantee a call.
Access for pallet deliveries
Is it important that a 7.5 tonne lorry (or larger) with a tail lift can access your property if pallet delivery of your item(s) is required. Some items can only be delivered on a pallet. We ask our customers to be aware of the access requirements and contact us should they have any queries prior to placing an order.
For more information on pallet deliveries see TPN. We are THE Pallet Network. | The Pallet Network (thepalletnetworkltd.co.uk)
Tracking
Once we have dispatched an order, we will provide you with a tracking link which will enable you to enquire with the Courier, should you experience any delays. Please note that where more than one item is expected, sometimes the couriers can deliver items separately so please allow a little extra time for additional items to arrive. Please be assured we always ship an order at the same time (unless we have agreed alternative arrangements with you).
