Blackened Steel Sheets - Rustic Finish

Metal Sheets Ltd has created an innovative alternative to the conventional blackening technique used for producing blackened steel sheets. This method yields steel sheets with a rustic charm, often described as having a "shabby look." Instead of a flat, uniform black, the color showcases variations where the natural steel is just visible, resulting in a distinctively non-uniform finish. A key element to this is we use Corten steel sheets.

Fire Place Feature using Blackened Steel Sheets

Metal Sheets Ltd fabricated the component parts for the striking fireplace surround featured in the introduction from Corten steel sheet, which continues beautifully into the basement. It truly is a standout feature!

This impressive fireplace is installed at Horne End Lodge.

Using our advanced computer-controlled fabrication machinery, we crafted each component of the fireplace. After fabrication, we applied the rustic blackened steel patina finish, enhancing their unique character.

Kitchen in Blackened Steel using Corten Steel Sheet

The cupboard fronts in this kitchen were created from high-quality Corten steel sheets, complemented by our rustic blackened steel sheet finish. Each door was carefully fabricated prior to the application of the patina finish. To protect and enhance the look, all components were sealed with a clear lacquer.

Blackened Steel Visuals

This image and the one below showcase our rustic Corten steel sheets in greater detail. The finish is hand-applied by our skilled artisans, resulting in a beautifully varied appearance that adds to its charm.

The finish on each of our blackened steel sheets is different, this is an integral part of the product.

After the patina application, several coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect and seal the finish.

An interesting design idea for this sheet would be to use it as the backckground for signage.

Subcontract Steel Blackening for the Trade

In addition to fabricating our own blackened steel features, we also provide patina application services to companies that lack their own facilities. It’s essential for these companies to discuss steel quality and fabrication methods with us prior to production to ensure the desired finish is achieved.

Additionally, we provide the trade with flat sheets featuring our rustic blackened finish crafted from Corten steel sheet.

Talking about doing work for the trade, we also supply aged brass sheets, aged copper sheets and aged zinc sheets. You can see some patina images on our page patina pictures.
