    For internal and especially external installations, how the surface of the steel is prepared and coated makes a large difference in the longevity of the installation. The prices vary, depending on the durability. This is a list of the protective coatings we can provide:
Primer coated steel is the most cost effective for the client. We prepare the steel and spray a durable primer coating on it in-house, and install it as primed. This is not a final coat, and must be painted with a finish coat. If you the client prefers to do this yourself, that's one option, or we will be happy to recommend a reliable and experienced painting company to take care of that for you.

Hot Dip Galvanizing effectively coats the entire surface of the steel, inside and out, with zinc, sealing and protecting it against the elements. Even if the steel is later scratched, the zinc acts as a sacrificial element, sealing the scratch against rusting. An extremely durable coating, zinc is rated to last 75 years outside. It will not accept paint though, so no color choices are available.

Powdercoating is a process where the fabricated steel assembly is abrasive blasted to clean and prepare it, then the powder coating is applied and baked on. It provides a durable, handsome surface with good longevity (the premier grade is guaranteed for 20 years), while offering a wide variety of color choices. It's slightly more expensive, but when you want the best, it's the right choice.
