Our Product Story
Galvanized steel has gone through a chemical process to keep it from corroding. The steel gets coated in layers of zinc because rust won't attack this protective metal. When steel is submerged in melted zinc, the chemical reaction permanently bonds the zinc to the steel through galvanizing. Zinc also protects the steel by acting as a "sacrificial layer." If, for some reason, rust does take hold on the surface of galvanized steel, the zinc will get corroded first.
Steel often gets galvanized after individual parts have been formed, such as braces, nails, screws, beams, or studs. However, raw galvanized steel in sheets will withstand some bending and forming without flaking. Besides being inexpensive and effective, this metal is popular because it can be recycled and reused multiple times.
