It is not that long ago that galvanized Gratings were used exclusively for functional reasons. Galvanized gratings were mainly used in industry or in power plant construction as aerial platforms and walkways. For the most part, appearance played little or no role.
But times have changed and visual aspects now play a role that should not be underestimated, even in areas where you might not initially think it possible. This development does not mean that galvanized Gratings have disappeared from the market. No, in fact the exact opposite is the case. Hot dip galvanised gratings are not only being used for their functionality, but also increasingly in areas where aesthetics and design are the main focus.
A galvanized Gratings fulfils important tasks in terms of design and function in modern architecture. Today, galvanized gratings can be used as facade coverings, railing infills, ceiling grids or design elements, for example.
At this point, you may be wondering why you should opt for galvanized Gratings of all things. Well, the answer is basically obvious, because hot-dip galvanizing is what gives steel gratings their robustness and durability. Over the years, hot-dip galvanizing has proven its worth as corrosion protection. This is also the reason why 3 galvanizing plants now belong to the Lichtgitter Group, which are among the most modern galvanizing plants in Europe.
Before the actual hot-dip galvanizing takes place, the Gratings that are to be galvanized must be pre-treated accordingly. The grating is then dipped in molten zinc. This gives the Gratings a zinc coating. This coating does not flake off under normal mechanical loads and gives the hot dip galvanised grating the necessary robustness.
If you are thinking of buying galvanized Gratings, then you are probably also wondering about the quality and what it looks like in terms of sustainability. As our customer, you can be absolutely sure that you will always receive consistently high quality, because we hot-dip galvanize in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461.
However, it is not only high quality that is important to us, we also take the environmental aspect into account. It is important to us to make the hot-dip galvanizing process as environmentally friendly as possible.
We also keep an eye on the aspects of waste and energy. Here we can say that all residual materials that arise during galvanizing are completely recycled.
