Why does it take 6 to 12 weeks from order to delivery?
We deliver standard pieces, including Cortenys Editions, in 6 to 12 weeks after order confirmation. For bespoke pieces, we allow 8 to 13 weeks, with the schedule stated in the quotation.
How does the patina stage work?
It takes five days: one day of application on the Corten steel in the workshop, then four days for the patina to set and be inspected, piece by piece. Your piece therefore arrives already patinated, with no need to wait months for the weather to do its work. For aluminium and other materials, the finish replaces the patina stage.
Will I have anything to pay when my piece is delivered to the UK?
No. Delivery is free for orders placed on the site, and our prices are all-inclusive: for deliveries to the United Kingdom, they include customs duties and import taxes. No further amount is payable on delivery; should a carrier nevertheless ask you for one, we refund it on presentation of the receipt.
Do pieces arrive ready to install?
Yes. Our pieces arrive ready to install; we do not provide on-site installation. Before delivery, check access to your address and arrange suitable handling equipment for the piece you have chosen: its indicative weight is shown on its product page.
Delivery to the United Kingdom
Our retail prices in pounds sterling include delivery to the United Kingdom, VAT, customs duties and import taxes. Each piece is made to order and reaches you within 6 to 12 weeks.
