Finish Reference |
Finish |
Description |
Bright Steel |
Polished Steel - NO coating or plating therefore no resilience to rust |
Zinc Plated |
Electroplated coating, giving shiny silver finish. Offers some rust resistance. |
Galvanised |
Steel is hot dipped in bath of molten zinc, coating fuses to surface rather than forming a
separate coating. Ideal for outdoor use. |
316 Stainless Steel |
Has an added alloy addition of Molybdenum which increases resistance to certain forms of cor-
rosion but can still be prone to surface scum. |
Nickel Plated Brass |
Electroplated coating over solid brass, giving shiny finish. Offers some rust resistance. |
Zinc Gold Plated |
A Gold (coloured) Passivated finish is applied over the top of Zinc Plating. Increases the level of
corrosion resistance somewhat more than standard Zinc Plating. |
