The galvanizing process has been used to protect metal (primarily steel) from corrosion for hundreds of years. The process basically involves cleaning the metal then dipping it into a vat of molten zinc. The multiple layers of zinc that form from this process protect the underlying steel from corrosion. This has proven to be effective even in salt-laden oceanfront environments. The zinc does more than just coat the metal, it metallurgically bonds to it, actually becoming part of it. These layers of zinc dissolve at a very slow rate, essentially acting as sacrificial layers. The layers of zinc inhibit rust, providing decades of protection to the underlying ironwork.

How Long Does Galvanizing Last?The level of corrosion protection is determined by the coating's thickness. The thicker the coating, the longer the life. Also, the geographical location where the ironwork will reside plays a crucial role in the longevity of the protection. Railings located in enclosed pool areas, at oceanfront properties, or in close proximity to salted roadways all require a thicker coating of zinc. It's important to understand the surrounding environment when specifying a galvanized coating thickness.
Galvanized coatings are typically bright and shiny when freshly galvanized. Left unpainted, the finish will weather to a uniform dull gray appearance within a year. They look fantastic on exterior railings and have an industrial aesthetic.
