Why should galvanized steel still be used?
- Safety: Structures such as bridges and machinery made of steel must function safely.
Cost saving: A long and maintenance-free life span of steel structures and machines saves the costs for repairs and new purchases. - Resource efficiency: If steel lasts longer and does not need to be replaced, less steel needs to be extracted from ore bodies. Less energy is also needed to produce steel.
- Climate protection: Every tonne of steel that does not need to be replaced by new steel before its expiry does not have to be produced. As a result, less CO2 is produced during steel production.
- Closing material cycles: The recycling of zinc and steel from galvanized steel is not only possible – it has also been practiced successfully for many years.

Where is galvanized steel used and why?
Galvanized steel is everywhere. In the light poles that illuminate our streets. In the high voltage pylons that power our homes. Also in cars and trucks that bring goods and people from A to B. Galvanized steel is found wherever corrosion protection and a long service life are essential.
Normal steel is incredibly versatile. However, it has the disadvantage that it is very susceptible to corrosion when exposed to different climatic conditions. Experts estimate that 4% of the gross domestic product is lost annually due to corrosion.
This is where the use of galvanized steel can make all the difference. Long-term durability, a hard and resistant coating and the favourable price. The advantages are clear. Galvanized steel is an economical alternative to the more expensive stainless steel.
In summary, the main advantages of galvanized steel:
- Lower cost than stainless steel
- Less maintenance/Lowest long term cost
- Long life expectancy
- Coating life and performance are reliable
- Outstanding resistance to mechanical damage
- Protection to small areas of steel exposed through damage
- No other coating can provide the same protection
- No lost time in surface preparation, painting and inspection
