STEEL THICKNESS:
When choosing between 1.6mm and 3mm steel for a property sign, 1.6mm is a cost-effective choice if the sign will be securely mounted to a solid surface. For hanging signs or situations where the mounting location may change, 3mm steel offers greater strength, rigidity, and long-term durability.

Weathering Tips

It's our aim to get your sign or ornament to you as quickly as possible, so unfortunately it isn't possible for us to pre-weather them.

This means your item will be in its raw form - the traditional grey steel colour. It doesn't take long to develop the beautiful rusty patina on your item, most will look pretty good within just a couple of weeks.

However, to be fully sealed and for your product to stop leaking any rust, does require 3-6 months. We have experimented with a few different options, and these are our top tips to speed up the weathering process.

Shipping

Within Australia we offer flat rate delivery of $13.5 per order, or $18.5 for express postage.

Postage on Custom Signs

Postage costs on custom signs & items will be quoted along with your sign and generally starts from $15. Australia Post allow us to send items up to 105cm. If your item is larger than this we will use a courier & charges will apply at cost.

When will I receive my order?

Our processing times do vary, however aim to create & post all orders within 3-5 business days, however sometimes there are factors outside of our control that may effect this. Painted items require a minimum 1-2 week processing time to allow for multiple coats & drying time. Powdercoated items are outsourced to a small local business, and as this is a multistep process that requires curing time between each step please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.

Metalscape has joined the Custom Steel Appeal family!

Like many of you, we’ve long admired Metalscape’s iconic, hand-drawn metal art and the legacy it built by Gavin & Naona Stewart over 18 years in the Blue Mountains. When we learned Metalscape was closing, we knew we couldn’t let those stunning designs disappear. So we stepped in to keep the collection alive—and give it a new home.

Now based in the Adelaide Hills, the full Metalscape Collection will be made in-house by our small team. You’ll still find the same beautiful artwork and Australian-made quality—now with faster turnaround times, our signature friendly service, and the convenience of ordering directly through our website.

What are the products made from?

While weathering steel is usually referred to by its trademark name COR-TEN (or Corten), we use an Australian made equivalent from Bluescope called REDCOR. It is known for its superior corrosion resistance and thickness. This is because the surface of the steel forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to protect itself. This protective surface layer continues to regenerate over years of exposure.

And it looks AMAZING!
