Galvanising

Galvanising is a protective process that involves coating steel or iron with a layer of zinc to prevent corrosion. At MetTech Fabrications, we use hot-dip galvanising, where components are submerged in molten zinc, forming a robust metallurgical bond that shields the metal from moisture, oxygen, and environmental wear.

Why should you Galvanise

Corrosion Resistance: Zinc acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting steel even if the surface is scratched or damaged.

Longevity: Galvanised steel can last decades without maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor and structural applications.

Cost-Effective Protection: Compared to painting or other coatings, galvanising offers long-term savings through reduced upkeep.

We recommend galvanising for:

• Structural steelwork
• Gates, railings, and fencing
• External brackets and fixings
• Agricultural and industrial components
