When it comes to strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, galvanised steel fabrication is the go-to choice for a wide range of construction and architectural applications. From balconies and gates to staircases and structural components, galvanised steel ensures a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution — even in harsh UK weather conditions.
At Riteweld Engineering, we provide expert galvanised steel fabrication services in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Our in-house team delivers custom steel solutions designed to perform — and built to last.
What Is Galvanised Steel Fabrication?
Galvanising is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel, which prevents rust and corrosion. This is typically done through hot-dip galvanising, where the fabricated steel components are submerged in molten zinc, creating a tough, bonded layer of protection.
Benefits of galvanised steel include:
- ✅ Excellent corrosion resistance
- ✅ Long service life with minimal maintenance
- ✅ Durable performance in outdoor environments
- ✅ Cost-effective protection for structural steel
Ideal Uses for Galvanised Steel
Galvanised steel is widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial projects, particularly in areas exposed to the elements. Common applications include:
- Balconies and balustrades – corrosion-resistant steel ensures longevity and safety
- Gates and railings – maintains appearance and structure over time
- Staircases – ideal for outdoor or industrial settings
- Structural beams – protection for external load-bearing steel
- Bridges, fencing, and platforms – built to endure heavy use and weather
Why Choose Galvanised Over Painted Steel?
While painted steel may offer short-term protection, galvanising provides superior, long-term resistance to rust and damage. It bonds metallurgically to the steel, creating a coating that won’t peel, chip, or flake — making it ideal for projects where safety and longevity are critical.
Galvanised steel is also more sustainable, reducing the need for frequent repainting or replacements. In many cases, the life expectancy of galvanised steel can exceed 50 years.
