Design For Galvanizing
New technologies and creative chemistries continue to evolve the specification and use of hot-dip galvanized metal and steel as new markets emerge.
When planning for the galvanization process, it’s always important to ensure your material is properly audited for any issues that could lead to lower life and quality of your galvanized product. V&S technicians take the time to thoroughly inspect your steel and advise on any defects that need corrected prior to galvanizing. Constant communication with your team throughout the entire process produces superior quality coatings faster and for less.
Below are some common questions we receive from our customers. Please contact us directly for a custom V&S Galvanizing design consultation on your specific need.
Do I need holes in my steel for galvanizing?
Yes. Holes in steel are often drilled for various reasons such as fixturing or hanging, venting and draining or even for attaching overlapping surfaces.
Will my steel fit in your kettle?
Our kettles can handle a range of 30 – 50 feet or up to 85 feet for progressive or double dipping.
How fast can we get it?
At V&S, we coordinate schedules and timelines to ensure your deadline is met. Same day service is also offered in specific cases.
Can we paint or powder coat over the galvanized steel?
Yes. With our over 30 years of experience top coating over hot dip galvanizing, this is our specialty.
