Galvanising

HOT DIP GALVANISED TO LAST A LIFETIME

Modern iron railing designs are constructed from hollow section steels rather
than solid sections used in their traditional counterparts with greater consideration
being given to durability and corrosion resistance.
They are maintenance free, longer lasting and aesthetically better.

GALVANISING SERVICE INFORMATION

All of our work is hand forged by Blacksmiths in the traditional way on our
premises. All work is hot dipped galvanised under European Standard.
BS EN.ISO.1461. The coating can have a typical maintenance free life for up to
50 years in rural areas and up to 25 years in urban marine areas.
Please note that due to the very nature of hot dip galvanising can only be
described as an industrial finish, it can leave imperfections and rough
deposits which we try to minimise, although it can actually add character to
forged and hammered ironwork.

Imperfections can still show through on final finish.
All hollow bars have a small hole drilled on
each end to aid the galvanising process.

VYNALAST™ PAINT SYSTEM

Vynalast™ is virtually a maintenance free
finish that will last for many years especially when applied over a galvanised
surface. Vynalast™ looks better on good quality decorative iron work than most
powder coated finishes. Powder Coating is also difficult to repair
or touch up - it does not adhere well to galvanised products and
chips very easily and can react to the galvanise.
