Seeing red is seeing beauty (The Age, Domain by Jenny Brown)

Pierre Le Roux has been welding and fabricating in steel for many years before he decided to exercise his natural talent for sculpture to make a feature piece for himself. "A friend wanted to buy it and it just took off from there," he says.

Testimonials

Please note that the following testimonials are collected, supplied and maintained by Pierre Le Roux Design.

Chris O'Dowd , Point Lonsdale

I want to thank you for the excellent work you did in designing, supply and erecting the Corten steel fence and balustrade for our project at 8 Elizabeth Street Point Lonsdale. Your attention to detail is much appreciated and adds to the overall finish to a job of this calibre. Also appreciated is the timely manner in which your job was completed which is most important to us when we are working with a tight schedule. This is a job we are extremely proud of and the owner is ecstatic with the final result. I look forward to working with you again on future projects.

Mark Azzopardi- Five Elements Design , East Brunswick

I have previously worked with Pierre Le Roux of PLR Design on a concept store fit-out consisting of high quality metal fabrication of floor and wall fixture units. The brief highlighted that the fabrication required high finishing and detailing, as this could potentially form the basis of a new line of stores. Pierre was able to execute this task in full, providing our client with a great result in good time and within budget. His knowledge and assistance in finalising details was distinctive. His consistent communication and positive input along with his unique problem solving skills assured that our architectural brief was met and that our job was executed to its full potential. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pierre to any prospective clients and we look forward to working with PLR Design again in the near future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standard size Corten sheet? The most common size sheet used in the Corten Steel is 2400mm x 1200mm although you can order larger sizes of 3000mm x 1200mm as a special order. The most common thickness of the sheet is 3mm. What is Corten Steel? A particular grade of carbon steel is high strength weathering steel. The most widely known of these steels is COR-TENÂ® developed by the American USX Corporation; however in some areas it may be known without the hyphen as Corten steel. In Australia and NZ also known as XLERPLATE (AS/NZ 3678-WR350). Weathering steel is of particular interest to artists and architects working with constructed steel fabrications intended for a naturally weathered rust patina finish if exposed to the weather for several years. Corten is available in either an A or B grade material â€“ alloyed primarily with additions of carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulphur, chromium, nickel and copper (vanadium and soluble aluminium are added to the â€˜Bâ€™ grade). Within the carbon steel group, Corten and other weathering steels react with oxygen to produce a rust oxide on untreated surfaces. In normal carbon steels the oxidisation process can eventually lead to the oxide conversion of the steelâ€™s entire fabric â€“ potentially resulting in structural collapse. The alloying elements added into weathering steels (in particular the copper and chromium components), encourage a very dense oxide layer to develop on the exposed surfaces; this exceptional density effectively inhibits any deeper corrosive penetration into the fabric of the metal. Dependent upon the ambient atmosphere and conditions the steel is exposed to, a rich rust oxide patina naturally develops without unduly compromising the longevity of the artwork.
