From hot-dip galvanization to powder coating, we provide superior protection for all your metal projects.
Available Treatments
We provide a comprehensive suite of surface treatments to safeguard your metal structures against the elements and wear. Each method is chosen for its specific protective qualities and aesthetic finishes.
Hot-Dip Galvanization
This process involves immersing metal in a bath of molten zinc at 450°C, creating a robust protective layer. The resulting coating, typically 80 to 120 microns thick, offers exceptional corrosion resistance.
Ideal for outdoor structures, gates, and barriers, hot-dip galvanization provides 50+ years of maintenance-free protection.
Powder Coating (Thermolaquage)
An electrostatic application of polyester powder, followed by baking in an oven at 200°C, creates a durable and attractive finish. Available in all RAL colors, powder coating offers 10 years of UV resistance and excellent shock resistance.
This treatment is perfect for achieving a wide range of aesthetic effects while providing strong protection.
Anodization (Aluminum)
Specifically for aluminum, anodization creates a natural protective oxide layer. This treatment can achieve either a matte or glossy finish and offers very good resistance, especially in coastal environments.
Anodization enhances the natural properties of aluminum, making it more durable and resistant to corrosion.
