Steel is the material of absolute strength. The strongest and most affordable of our metals, it comes in 4 grades. Raw steel (2 to 20 mm) is the professionals' choice for its exceptional mechanical strength, but it will always rust if not painted or treated. Galvanised steel (1 to 3 mm), protected by a zinc layer, offers excellent rust resistance at a moderate price. Checker plate steel (5 mm) combines strength and slip resistance for floors and hatches. Corten steel (1.5 mm) deliberately develops a protective orange patina outdoors.
💡 Workshop tip: for outdoor use, galvanised steel (minimum 1.5 mm) offers the best value for money: it won't rust and is easy to paint. Corten steel (1.5 mm) arrives unrusted and will develop its orange patina over a few months depending on weather exposure. For indoor use, raw steel is unbeatable: strong, magnetic and economical.
Unlike aluminium or stainless steel, steel is heavy: plan for sturdy mechanical fixings, especially for thicknesses above 3 mm. For large surfaces, don't hesitate to split your project into several plates.
Steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, is valued for its high tensile strength, ductility, and ability to withstand wear and impact. Its properties can be adjusted through heat treatments and specific alloys, making steel ideal for varied applications ranging from construction to the automotive and aerospace industries.
For custom cutting, steel offers exceptional flexibility, allowing for precise cuts adapted to specific needs, while ensuring increased durability and corrosion resistance when treated with protective coatings like galvanization or epoxy paint.
Raw steel is the quintessential steel sheet: it is the base for many projects. Its appearance is raw, slightly grey and varnished on one side. Depending on its thickness, this sheet can withstand vehicle traffic, abrasion, and impacts.
Galvanized steel sheets are anti-corrosion treated for optimal durability indoors and outdoors. Ideal for projects requiring protection against bad weather.
Teardrop steel (checker plate), renowned for its anti-slip properties, is ideal for floor surfaces and door sills, ensuring safety and functionality in your spaces.
Corten steel, very trendy, naturally oxidizes to offer a unique rusted appearance. Perfect for gardens (flower planters, braziers) and Loft-style interior decoration. This solid and aesthetic steel blends harmoniously into modern and rustic environments.
We offer a wide range of raw steel thicknesses to meet your specific projects:
