One of the biggest advantages when you work with us is we can share our decades of experience and wealth of knowledge. We can answer key questions, such as what type of coating to use to protect steel from corrosion in different settings. In many cases, galvanisation is the ideal finish. Let’s have a closer look so you can see the benefits for yourself.

What is it?

Steel is one of the best materials in the world in terms of strength, durability, and versatility. However, it doesn’t have the best corrosion resistance in most cases. If you want to ensure it will last for decades, especially in corrosive environments, you may need to give it a suitable finish. So, it is a good idea to look at the various options, including powder coating, wet paint, and galvanisation.

Galvanising is an exceptional way to finish steel to give it a protective coating of zinc. The process creates a strong bond between the two rather than a discrete layer. As a result, you have a tough coating that will resist mechanical damage and last a very long time, especially if you compare to other types of finishes. It makes galvanisation services incredibly popular.

Crucially, the zinc coating can withstand even highly corrosive environments, such as chemical processing plants, offshore, and marine settings. It’s often chosen as a way to finish structural steel, especially if it will be embedded in concrete.

Another benefit of galvanisation is it effectively covers all parts of the steelwork. This includes inaccessible areas and recesses. As a result, there is no risk of leaving spots vulnerable to corrosion.

Finally, galvanisation can be very cost effective. You can save money in various ways, including the lower maintenance, easier handling and installation, and longer service life. However, do keep in mind that it can be costly for some large scale applications; always consider your budget.
