PREVENTS RUST JACKING
The long life of galvanized steel lintels reduces the chances of costly
rust jacking, a problem that occurs when lintel corrosion causes severe
expansion cracking or shifting in brickwork. Hot-dip galvanized steel
has been used for decades to resist corrosion in the most severe environments.
SELF HEALING
The unique chemistry of zinc galvanizing actually reacts in the presence
of water to create rust-resistance at the point of any surface damage.
STRONGER THAN STEEL
South Atlantic’s galvanizing process creates alloy layers on the
surface that are actually harder than many base steels.*
MINIMIZES RETOUCHING ON THE JOB SITE
Using South Atlantic galvanized lintels saves time and troubles involved
with patching gaps, job site damage, and imperfections that occur in other
types of rust-proofing.
COST EFFECTIVE
When compared with paint systems, hot-dip galvanizing has comparable initial
application costs and, almost always, lower life-cycle costs. In fact,
the lower life-cycle costs of hot-dip galvanized material make galvanizing
the best choice for today and tomorrow.* |
