Galvanized, Galvalume & Galvanneal, What's the Difference?

Galvanized steel was invented and developed for commercial use in the first half of the 19th Century, so it has nearly 200 years of proven track record. This substrate is coated with a thin layer (60, 90, or 100 ounces) of zinc. This protects the metal from harsh components that cause corrosion. Eventually, the zinc layer will fade. While fading sounds like a problem, this is actually just how the coating works. The zinc is essentially sacrificing itself in the event of a scratch - stopping the spread of rust! Shineyond Group suggests galvanized steel is often used for steel frame buildings, cool rolled sheet metal, nuts, bolts, tools, and wires of all kinds. This is because it is a cheap process, and helps boost the metal’s lifespan.
