1. Exceptional Durability:
The zinc coating sacrificially protects the underlying steel from corrosion, significantly extending its lifespan – often for decades – even in coastal, industrial, or high-moisture areas.
2. Low Maintenance:
Requires minimal upkeep compared to painted or untreated steel. It doesn't need regular repainting; simple cleaning with water or mild detergent suffices.
3. High Strength & Safety:
Steel provides excellent structural integrity, reliably supporting users and meeting building code requirements for load-bearing and impact resistance. Designs often incorporate slip-resistant features.
4. Fire Resistance:
Steel is inherently non-combustible, enhancing safety in fire-prone settings.
5. Weather Resistance:
Performs exceptionally well in rain, snow, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations.
