Corten sliding gate with a laser-cut dragon and optional lighting

This sliding gate is made from Corten weathering steel for a distinctive architectural entrance. The material develops a protective patina over time, creating a natural rust-brown colour and an individual surface texture.

Laser cutting accurately reproduces the intricate dragon motif and accompanying abstract ornament. It produces precisely finished edges and consistent details that complement modern industrial design.

• Durability: This variant uses the steel’s natural patina as its finish, without paint or additional corrosion-protection coatings. In suitable exposure conditions, with alternating wetting and drying, the patina helps slow further atmospheric corrosion and reduces surface-maintenance needs. The steel provides mechanical strength, rigidity and structural stability.
• Sliding operation: The sliding system saves manoeuvring space on the driveway, especially on narrow plots. A cantilever version is possible, with suitable automatic drives and safety photocells.
• Additional features: The design can incorporate a multifunction post with the house number and optional provision for a letterbox or video intercom. Optional LED lighting, priced separately, highlights the cut-out motifs after dark and can create changing lighting effects. The lighting specification and controls are agreed when ordering.
• Architectural setting: The gate complements minimalist and contemporary architecture, architectural concrete, natural wood and garden planting. Its expressive pattern creates an individual artistic feature at the entrance.

Recyclability: Corten steel can be recycled. In this variant, the surface is left without paint coatings.

Price basis: The indicative price is for 1 linear metre of gate up to 1.5 m high at the post. Dimensions and the scope of work are agreed in an individual quotation.

Lighting excluded: The quoted price does not include the LED lighting shown in some photographs. Lighting is optional; its specification, controls and price are agreed separately.
