Custom Corten Steel Signs: A Durable and Stylish Solution for Our Surrey Client

Custom Corten Steel Signs: A Durable and Stylish Solution for Our Surrey Client

At Rees Metal Designs, we take pride in crafting custom signage that not only serves its purpose but also adds a touch of lasting beauty. Recently, we had the pleasure of creating a pair of stunning Corten steel signs for a valued client in Surrey. These signs were designed with a specific need in mind: to ensure deliveries are never missed again.


Why Corten Steel?

Cor-ten steel, also known as weathering steel, is an ideal material for outdoor signage. One of the unique qualities of Corten steel is its ability to form a protective rust-like appearance over time. Unlike traditional rust that weakens metal, the patina created by Corten acts as a natural barrier, protecting the steel beneath it from further corrosion. This means that the signs won't just weather beautifully; they will also last for many years without requiring maintenance.


The Client's Need

Our client in Surrey reached out to us because they were experiencing issues with missed deliveries. Clear, visible signage was essential to ensure that delivery drivers could easily locate their property, and we knew that a pair of bold Corten steel signs would provide the perfect solution.


The Crafting Process

Each sign was carefully crafted in our workshop on the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border. We use high-quality Cor-Ten steel, ensuring that every piece is made to last. The signs were laser-cut with precision, allowing for crisp, clear lettering that would be visible from a distance.

Once installed, these signs will develop a rich, rustic patina that blends beautifully into natural surroundings, making them an excellent choice for both rural and urban environments. And the best part? Corten steel requires no maintenance. The signs will retain their integrity and aesthetic appeal for years to come, without the need for constant upkeep.

Long-Lasting Appeal

The patina that Corten steel develops over time is one of its most attractive features. It offers a warm, rustic look that complements both modern and traditional settings. Whether installed at the entrance to a property, a farm, or a business, these signs will catch the eye and add character.

In addition to being visually striking, the signs are built to endure the elements. Rain, snow, and sun won’t damage or degrade them, ensuring that they continue to serve their purpose for many years.


A Maintenance-Free Future

Thanks to the natural rust barrier formed by Corten steel, our client in Surrey can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their new signs will remain strong and functional without the need for regular maintenance. These signs are not only a practical solution to their delivery problem but also an investment in the aesthetic appeal of their property.
