The bodies of cars and many bicycles are made of galvanized metal. Some drinking water pipes are still made of galvanized steel. Cold rolled sheet metal is also often galvanized. Nuts, bolts, tools and wires of all kinds are now galvanized because it is an inexpensive process and helps to extend the life of the metal!

In particular, galvanized steel is often used in modern “steel frame” construction. Galvanized steel is also used to build structures such as balconies, verandas, stairs, ladders, walkways, and more. Galvanized metal is ideal if you will be living outdoors after your project is completed. Fences, roofs, outdoor walkways - these are all excellent choices for galvanized metal!

Wind and Solar Industry - Solar projects must have a continuous workflow once installed, and any repairs/maintenance can lead to service interruptions (also known as loss of revenue). This means that hot-dipped galvanized steel is popular for solar projects because of its corrosion protection. It is also popular for its “environmental” friendliness, as it produces no emissions and ensures no maintenance for decades. It is often used in agriculture, for example, where equipment is susceptible to corrosion, creating a need for stronger, more resilient equipment. The corrosion protection provided by hot-dipped galvanized steel typically lasts for decades, even when exposed to harsh agricultural environments.

Automotive Industry - Although galvanized bodies were only used in luxury models until the 1980s, their use in automotive manufacturing is now the norm. The “body-in-white” of a car, which makes up about 80% of the body, is made entirely of galvanized steel. The rust resistance of galvanized steel is also a great marketing tool for the automotive industry, as it provides customers with a “rust guarantee”.

Construction - Whether residential or commercial, the durability of galvanized steel has made it popular in the construction industry for over a century. It has been chosen for its aesthetic appeal; the “sheen” provided by galvanized steel gives it a modern look that is popular in modern architectural design. In addition, it is used not only for large structural elements, but also for fences, gutters, railings, pipes, poles, etc.

Telecommunications - Telephone lines are not an easy job to maintain, they are tall and often hard to reach. Hot-dip galvanized steel can be used for telephone lines and equipment boxes, thus reducing the risk of damage and the need for maintenance.
