Galvanised Steel is steel that has had protective coatings of zinc oxide applied to it to prevent rusting. This process is usually performed by dipping the steel into molten zinc which, when cooled, permanently bonds the zinc to the steel. This further increases the usefulness of steel which has shown to be highly resistant to strong winds and pest damage – however is usually susceptible to rust and corrosion from moisture damage. Therefore, galvanised steel provides a range of benefits as it carries the structural performance of steel while also giving significantly boosted protection against the elements. The following are just 10 of the various advantages using galvanised steel can provide: 1. Lowest first-cost Typically, in construction, a large first investment is associated with savings down the road – a high first-cost but a low lifetime or maintenance cost. However, with galvanised steel you can benefit from a low first-cost and a low maintenance cost as it is cheaper to purchase galvanised steel from a manufacturer. This is because labour intensive protective methods such as painting are far more expensive than factory operations like galvanizing. Additionally, steel parts that are painted with protective coatings typically won’t achieve the same results … Continue reading The 10 Benefits of Galvanized Steel
