Stainless Steel offers great corrosive protection; however galvanised steel provides long life, durability and predictable performance once hot dipped. As an alloy of its steel base, a galvanised coating is unique in matching the design and handling characteristics of steel. Galvanizing is committed to the concept of the maintenance-free use of steel, ensuring long service life and virtually eliminating disruptive maintenance. However, it does have it limits. Design engineers, architects and DIY handymen are increasingly specifying galvanizing, not only as it is less expensive than Stainless Steel, but also as it has proven corrosion performance over “raw” steel alternatives. It also has a natural appearance and is used in many instances for architectural decorative designs and finishes. Please refer to AS/NZS4680:1999 standards if using for architectural design. Final appearances can be enhanced with paint or powder coating. Galvanizing is a cast coating with a clean metallic and textured surface which may be enhanced with further dressing.
