Expert Cor-ten Laser Cutting
We laser cut corten sheet from 1.5mm up to 20mm thick as standard, with 30mm plate available on request. Whether it is a one-off prototype or repeat batches of laser cut corten steel panels, our Trumpf 12KW and 24KW fibre lasers handle the job with tolerances to plus or minus 0.25mm.
Corten is a weathering steel that slowly oxidises when exposed to the elements, forming a protective rust patina that requires practically no maintenance. This distinctive dark orange finish makes it popular for architecture, sculpture, and landscape features. The name comes from its two key properties: CORrosion resistance and TENsile strength.
Cutting corten steel requires careful setup. The material behaves differently to mild steel during cutting, and edge quality depends on getting the gas mix and speed right for the thickness. We have been cutting corten steel for over 25 years, so this is familiar territory.
Corten Steel Grades
Cor-Ten A (Cold-Rolled Weathering Steel)
Cor-Ten A is a cold-rolled weathering steel, generally available up to 3mm thick. It has extra corrosion resistance with good formability, toughness, and weldability. Supplied with thickness and width tolerances in accordance with EN 10131. Used where thinner gauge corten sheet is needed for architectural features, cladding, and decorative work.
Cor-Ten B (Hot-Rolled Weathering Steel)
Cor-Ten B is a hot-rolled weathering steel, generally 3mm thick and above. Like Cor-Ten A, it has extra corrosion resistance with good formability, toughness, and weldability. Cor-Ten B is the more common grade for structural and heavy-duty applications where thicker plate is required.

Quality & Traceability
Every part comes with full material certification and traceability. We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001, plus Cyber Essentials accredited. All corten stock is stored indoors to prevent uncontrolled surface oxidation before cutting.
Combined Services Advantage
Get corten steel sheet cut to size and bent to spec in a single order. One supplier, one delivery, shorter lead times. Laser cutting and bending are handled under the same roof.
Corten Expertise
Not every laser shop has experience with weathering steel. Corten behaves differently during cutting and requires specific setup to get clean edges. We have been working with this material for over 25 years and know how to get the best results across all thicknesses.

Corten
The speed of the colour change will depend on the environment that it is subject to, the more frequently it is wet and dry and the greater the amount of sulphur in the atmosphere, the faster the distinctive weathered steel surface patina will develop.
Please note: patina only develops through repeated cycles of wetting and drying. If the surface remains constantly wet, this oxidation process cannot occur. Corten steel requires alternating exposure to moisture (which starts the oxidation) and dry periods (which allow the stable rust layer to form) to achieve its characteristic weathered appearance and corrosion resistance.

Corten Cutting Applications
Our corten laser cutting service covers a wide range of sectors
Whatever your industry, our metal laser cutting service handles everything from one-off prototypes to production runs.
Architecture and Cladding
Facade panels, cladding sheets, rainscreen systems, and building features. Laser cut corten steel panels are popular for modern architectural projects where the weathered finish adds character. We cut panels to your exact drawings, ready for installation.
Structural and Construction
Bridge components, structural plates, and connection details. Corten’s corrosion resistance and tensile strength make it a practical choice for exposed structural elements that need to last without painting.
Landscape and Garden Design
Planters, edging, retaining walls, water features, and garden screens. Laser cut corten is a go-to material for landscape architects who want a natural, rustic look that blends with outdoor settings.
Signage and Wayfinding
Entrance signs, building identification, and wayfinding markers. The natural weathered finish gives signage a distinctive look that works well in both rural and urban settings.
Sculpture and Art
Freestanding sculptures, wall art, and public installations. Corten’s unique patina makes it one of the most popular metals for outdoor artistic work. We cut intricate profiles from drawings supplied by artists and fabricators.
