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 1 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 and 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 and longer lengths are usually sent via DX Courier. Delivery charges are calculated in the basket and checkout after entering your postcode and our website is designed to offer you the most cost effective method of delivery.

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 to?

We can deliver items all over the UK.

Our website only calculates shipping costs to Mainland UK. The following locations are excluded:-

Northern Ireland
Highlands and Scottish Islands
All Off-Shore are excluded

Please contact us if you require delivery to any of these locations as we may be able to assist.

Unfortunately we are unable to ship internationally.

How long will I wait for my order to be delivered?

For stock items we aim to dispatch within 5-7 working days.

For made-to-order items, our lead times are stated on each product.

Once your order is complete, we will contact you via email to arrange delivery. Please note we do not ship any items until we have your confirmation.

We always endeavour to keep customers updated as to their delivery but once an item leaves us it is in the hands of the delivery company and we cannot be held responsible for any delays in delivery once the item has left us. All customers receiving a pallet delivery can select their preferred delivery date directly with Palletways by using their “book in” service. 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 then these cannot be shipped on a pallet. We do offer our own delivery service which is charged per mile and is used for items that cannot fit onto a pallet.

Some larger items can be delivered via DX who accept items of this nature (dependent on their overall weight).

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

Our smaller items and lengths over 2 metres are shipped with DX as this is the most cost effective delivery method for such items.

Delivery is a next day service available Monday to Friday only.

Pallet Delivery – Palletways

Most of our items are delivered on a pallet due to weight. We use the Palletways Network for our pallet deliveries.

When an order is dispatched, our clients are usually offered a “book in” service which means that Palletways will contact you directly to book in a suitable delivery date once they have your pallet in their possession.

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” and Palletways will send a text message advising of a 2 hour delivery slot once the pallet has been loaded for delivery.

Pallets can be left in a customer’s absence if there is a suitable place to do so.

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 Rules for delivering your pallet (youtube.com)

Tracking

Once we have dispatched an order (pallets only), we will provide you with a tracking link which will enable you track your delivery. 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).

General Guarantee – Returns Policy

We hope that all our customers are satisfied with their products. If you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it in perfect condition and in the original packaging within 14 days of purchase for a replacement or full refund (bespoke items are excluded from this unless they are damaged or faulty).

Returns postage will only be refunded if the item is damaged, faulty or if the wrong items have been sent. We do not accept responsibility for damaged or lost parcels on return. Please CONTACT US if you wish to return an item.

We reserve the right to deduct an amount from any refund due should there be any damage to the product caused by you, that makes the product unsaleable. For example, if the product had any obvious signs of use.

Damaged Goods

We go to great lengths to protect our products with protective wrapping and packaging to ensure that your purchase reaches you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your goods are damaged on arrival please CONTACT US with a picture of the damage as soon as possible so that we can raise this with our delivery partners and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

You must also notify us within 7 days of receipt, so that we may arrange for collection or replacement of the damaged item. Failure to notify us of any damage within 7 days of delivery will mean we are unable to proceed with a claim from our delivery partners and as such any replacements or refunds will be at our sole discretion.
