Metal wall decoration made to measure - Howling Wolf

Wolf metal wall art with a striking silhouette

This wolf metal wall art shows a head in profile, its muzzle raised in a howling pose. A paw print and openings suggesting fur appear within the head, with no lettering. Display it in a living room, hallway or on an outdoor wall to bring an animal theme into your space. You choose the dimensions, material and thickness; laser cutting produces the entire design from one continuous piece of metal.

A howling wolf with openwork details

The raised muzzle defines the profile, while the paw print adds another detail within the silhouette. Your wall shows through the openings, so its colour becomes part of the design. A plain background helps the fine details stand out. Leave clear space around the head to give its outline room, particularly when placing it alongside pictures or furniture.

Brushed stainless steel and mild steel: choose your material

The piece is supplied unpainted. Choose your metal to suit both its appearance and its location:

Made to measure: choose your size and thickness

Specify the longest side to the millimetre within an overall range of 170 to 1480 mm. Width and height change together to preserve the proportions of your wolf metal wall art. The narrow sections between openings require different minimum sizes depending on thickness. The available ranges for the longest side are:

• At a thickness of 1 mm, choose brushed stainless steel or galvanised steel, with a longest side from 170 to 800 mm.
• At a thickness of 1.5 mm, choose Corten steel, brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel or anodised aluminium, with a longest side from 250 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 2 mm, choose brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel, mild steel or anodised aluminium, with a longest side from 340 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 3 mm, choose brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel or mild steel, with a longest side from 500 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 4 mm, choose brushed stainless steel or mild steel, with a longest side from 670 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 5 mm, choose mild steel, with a longest side from 840 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 6 mm, choose mild steel, with a longest side from 1000 to 1480 mm.
• At a thickness of 8 mm, choose mild steel, with a longest side from 1340 to 1480 mm.

As a guide, consider 340 to 600 mm above a console table, or 800 to 1480 mm for a larger wall, subject to thickness. Try a paper outline before deciding. For a project outside these ranges, request a quote.

Indoor and outdoor settings

Indoors, wolf metal wall art brings a distinct focal point to a living room or entrance. Brushed stainless steel adds a satin reflection, anodised aluminium keeps the piece light, and galvanised steel gives an industrial feel. Keep mild steel in a dry room with suitable protection against oxidation.

For an outdoor wall or terrace, choose brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel or anodised aluminium. Corten steel is for outdoor use only. Its developing patina can produce rust run-off, so check compatibility with rendered walls and the route rainwater will take. Explore our custom metal décor for other designs.

Mounting and care for your wolf metal wall art

Fixings must suit the piece's weight, dimensions and wall material. Have a competent person determine a solution compatible with the openwork design and support. Supplied without accessories. Check that mounting points respect the narrow parts of the silhouette.

Clean brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel and anodised aluminium with a soft cloth, slightly damp if needed, then dry. Avoid abrasives. Keep mild steel away from moisture and check its protection. Outdoors, Corten run-off can mark pale render or paving as the patina forms; choose its position accordingly.

A laser-cut silhouette, made to your scale

Each metal wolf is laser cut to order. The silhouette is made as one continuous piece, with clean edges and openwork details that follow the design. Its profile and outline are preserved at any compatible size you choose.

• Made to measure: dimensions chosen to the millimetre within the available ranges.
• One piece: the head and its open spaces form a continuous design.
• Choice of material: five options to select for your location.

Frequently asked questions about wolf metal wall art

What size should I choose for wolf metal wall art?

Consider a longest side of 340 to 600 mm near a console table, or 800 to 1480 mm on a larger wall. The overall range is 170 to 1480 mm, with availability depending on thickness. Check the detailed ranges in the description. The proportions stay fixed to preserve the design.

Can I display wolf metal wall art outdoors?

Yes. Brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel and anodised aluminium suit outdoor use. Corten steel is for outdoor use only and develops an orange-brown patina that can cause rust run-off. Keep mild steel in a dry interior with suitable protection against oxidation.

How do brushed stainless steel, galvanised steel and anodised aluminium differ?

Brushed stainless steel has a satin appearance and is available in thicknesses from 1 to 4 mm. Galvanised steel has a protective zinc layer, an industrial grey appearance and thicknesses from 1 to 3 mm. Anodised aluminium is lightweight and smooth to the touch, available in 1.5 and 2 mm only. All three suit indoor and outdoor settings.

How should I mount the Howling Wolf?

Choose fixings suited to the weight of your piece and the wall material. The openwork design requires care around its narrow sections during installation. Have a competent person check the mounting solution for your support. Supplied without accessories.

What finish does the wolf metal wall art have?

It is supplied unpainted in your chosen material. Brushed stainless steel has a satin appearance, galvanised steel is metallic grey, and mild steel has a raw industrial character. The aluminium is anodised. Corten steel is for outdoor use only; it is supplied without rust and develops its patina outdoors. Each piece is laser cut to order.

Can Corten steel stain a rendered wall?

Yes. Rain can carry rust run-off while the patina develops. Corten steel is for outdoor use only. Avoid positioning it on pale render or above paving vulnerable to staining, and check where water will flow before choosing its location.

Does the wolf design include separate pieces?

No. The wolf's head is cut from one continuous piece of metal. The paw print and fur details are openings within that silhouette. The muzzle points upwards in a howling pose, and the design contains no lettering.

Will the mild steel wolf rust?

Yes. Mild steel rusts without protection, especially in damp conditions. Keep it in a dry interior and provide suitable protection to preserve its raw steel appearance. Check periodically for signs of oxidation. For an outdoor location, choose one of the materials suitable for that setting.
