Our Custom Corten Steel Gates Fabrication Process
Design and Customization: The design process for our custom Corten steel gates begins with a thorough consultation to capture your vision and site requirements. Our design team creates everything from rusted driveway gates and oxidized garden gates with weathered fences to basement entry gates to complement the architectural style of your commercial or residential property.
Material Selection: We specialize in chemical processing and fabrication of Corten steel gates, known for their distinct rusty appearance, long-lasting durability, and evolving patina. All our patina finish products are processed in our shop to achieve a consistent weathered look before installation, with options available for panel thickness and oxidation stage to suit your project requirements.
Fabrication Process: We combine precision laser cutting, expert welding, and skilled metalwork to fabricate high-quality Corten gates. Every piece is crafted to highlight the material’s unique oxidizing effect while ensuring structural integrity.
Quality Assurance: Every Corten steel gate we fabricate undergoes strict quality checks from start to finish and we monitor patina development, structural performance, and final detailing to ensure a secure and visually striking result.
