Custom Fabricated Galvanised Steel Products
Galvanised steel is steel that has been coated with a protective layer of zinc to prevent rust and increase durability. The galvanising process creates a strong protective layer that gives the metal an extra layer of protection.
Galvanised steel offers a cost-effective, durable, and versatile solution for roofing and building projects. Its high structural strength makes it suitable for demanding applications. Minimal maintenance and excellent value compared to premium metals makes Galvanised steel one of the most practical and economical choices for both residential and commercial construction.
Key features of Galvanised steel:
-
Excellent corrosion resistance
-
Strong and lightweight
-
Easy to fabricate
-
Cost-effective alternative to stainless steel
THE PROPERTIES OF GALVANISED STEEL
| Property | Galvanised Steel |
| Corrosion Resistance | The zinc protective layer gives good corrosion resistance but can degrade in coastal/marine environments |
| Strength | High strength |
| Weight | Heavy |
| Formability | Good formability. The galvanised sheet forming is easy although thicker hot-dip coatings reduce formability |
| Weldability | The product is weldable |
| Thermal Conductivity | Low |
| Magnetic | Yes (steel-based) |
| Surface Appearance | Spangled, matte or smooth zinc coating; industrial look |
| Durability / Lifespan | 20–50+ years depending on the zinc costing thickness & environment |
| Cost | Low (compared to premium metals such as stainless or aluminium) |
| Recyclability | Fully recyclable |
