Building & Architecture
Structural steel has been the material of choice in the building market for decades because of the numerous benefits it provides. While steel successfully and efficiently works when enclosed in the building envelope (framing), the portions of the steel exposed to the atmosphere need corrosion protection. Whether canopies, façade elements, handrail, architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS), or other exterior elements, hot-dip galvanizing is specified for optimum corrosion protection and enhanced aesthetic appeal.
