Detail
Specifying galvanized iron
| Properties | Mild steel protected by a layer of zinc. It is strong, magnetic, economical and easy to form. |
|---|---|
| Where to specify | Sub-frames, carriers, brackets, back panels, ceiling components and other work that is concealed or coated by your coater. |
| Finishes | The natural zinc surface where appearance is not critical, or supplied ready for your coater. We do not powder coat. Galvanized iron is not PVD coated or mirror polished. |
| Fabrication notes | It cuts and bends cleanly. Cut edges and welded areas lose their zinc layer and need protection, usually a coating by your coater. |
| Confirm before specifying | For exposed or exterior work, confirm the coating and finish with MCS before you detail around it. |
