Hot Dip Galvanising offers you long-term protection against rust and corrosion. It provides highly cost-effective and long-lasting protection for structural steel work. Hot Dip Galvanising is the process of coating steel with a thin zinc layer, by passing the metal through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 860°F (460°F). Usually dull grey, this is a suitably strong material to stop further corrosion and protects the steel below from the elements. Galvanised steel is wildly used in applications where rust resistance is needed. Galvanised steel can be left in the grey metallic colour or can be pained to your required colour and specification. Shot blasting the steelwork prior to galvanising is recommended to ensure a thicker, stronger bond with the zinc.
