In addition to expert fabrication, we also provide metal galvanizing for new and pre-existing structures. Galvanizing protects the metal against natural and premature deterioration, i.e. rust/corrosion, by forming a protective barrier and preventing moisture and air from touching the surface of the metal itself. Protecting metalwork in this way prolongs its lifespan and maintains the safety and integrity of the structure. Using a hot dip application, a fine layer of zinc is applied to steel and iron products, whereas aluminium is protected via a cold fusion technique.

Galvanizing is the method of applying a thin layer of zinc to metals that are prone to rust or corrosion. Typically, this is performed via a hot dip, where the item is submerged in a bath containing the molten zinc coating. During submersion, a chemical reaction takes place, causing the zinc to attach and seal around the iron or steel to form a barrier. The process involves:
Aside from the anti-corrosive properties, galvanising has several other benefits. It is a more sustainable and cost-effective solution to metalwork protection when compared to regular maintenance and repair. Thus, galvanizing reduces your carbon footprint long-term. Also, the thickness of the zinc coating is measurable and thus its lifespan can be reliably determined, making it a dependable and predictable solution. Finally, galvanizing is effective from the day of application and very long-lasting, so you get the best from your structure from the very start.
We apply effective rust and corrosion protection to ensure our products stand the test of time, meaning your steel buildings will too. Galvanizing is a long-established, dependable method of metal protection and has been carried out for generations. Our expert team use a combination of traditional and modern techniques and equipment to apply coatings quickly and thoroughly. Thus, we offer quick turnaround times on manufacturing, to meet your project timescales without compromising on quality.
