Made from our usual Corten steel, these are low maintenance memorials. Also known as Weathering steel, this is often referred to by the trademark COR-TEN steel. This naturally rusts over time, providing a striking, on-trend finish. It doesn't corrode, so no maintenance needed! We start the rusting process for you and then we leave the rest to mother nature.
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.
Please fill in the name you would like on the plaque, up to 10 letters. The font will be as per the images shown. Your chosen wording will be cut into the steel.
Proofing - a proof will be created and emailed to check for errors. Once the proof is approved via email, the order will be sent into production.
