Galvanized steel is a cold rolled/hot rolled steel substrate coated with zinc of varying thicknesses to provide the plasticity, tensile strength, bending, impact toughness, cold embrittlement, hardness, and cold working properties of steel with the corrosion resistance of zinc. It plays an important role in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Wanzhi Group offers full sizes of galvanized coils, sheets, strips, panels, and professional solutions for various industries.
What are the Uses of Galvanized Steel in Construction?
GI steel is commonly used in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial construction projects for a wide range of applications, including structural steelwork, doors, windows, walls, ceilings, and plumbing systems. Different grades and types of galvanized steel are used for these applications.
- Roofing: galvanized roofing sheets, panels, corrugated sheets, various types of roof tiles, and sandwich panels.
- Exterior: galvanized wall panels, metal cladding, stamped panels, thermal insulation panels, etc.
- Ceilings: clean panels, curtain wall lining panels, façade panels, etc.
- Temporary building: color-coated galvanized steel sheet, etc.
- Steel Structure: Purlin, Bracket, Galvanized Steel Frame, Galvanized Pipe, etc.
- Electricity supply system: galvanized wire, galvanized pipe.
- Stairs: anti-skid galvanized, stamped galvanized, etc.
Why Galvanized Steel is a Good Building Material?
- Resistant to wind, corrosion, and durability.
- Good plasticity and toughness.
- Weather resistant.
- Decorative.
- Cost-effective.
- Long service life.
How to Choose the Galvanized Steel Material for Your Project?
Galvanized steel is widely used as a building material in many areas because of its good physical properties and cost-effectiveness over time, but different material specifications, processes, and zinc thicknesses can affect the service life and application of galvanized steel. However, different material specifications, processes, and zinc thicknesses can affect the service life and application of galvanized steel. Similarly, selecting the right steel for your project can lead to significant cost savings.
Load-bearing capacity requirements
The rigidity of galvanized sheet steel, galvanized plate, and galvanized sheet steel produced by the hot-dip galvanizing process and the electro-galvanizing process varies depending on the surface structure (flat plate, corrugated plate, trapezoidal plate, etc.), and the choice of the steel should take into account the load-bearing capacity required by the building or the structure.
Coating Thickness
Wanzhi Group’s galvanized steel has a coating weight of Z30-Z350g, 40 microns-150 microns. Typical zinc coating thicknesses are z80-z140 (g30-g60) for indoor use, z275 (g90) for marine, humid, and chemical environments, or zinc-aluminum alloy coatings.
Processing/Construction Requirements
The galvanized coil is easy to transport, less expensive, and is a raw material for a variety of steel products that require in-depth processing by a fabricator. Galvanized sheets and panels are cut or shaped steel, ready for use.
Application environments
Indoor, Outdoor, Humid, Dry, Chemical Processing Area, Marine Area
Project Life Cycle
The service life of the steel is determined by the zinc coating, which can be selected according to the expected service life of the project.
Maintenance costs
If the application is difficult to install, a galvanized steel finish can be considered to reduce maintenance costs.
How to Choose a Supplier for Your Project?
The quality of the products, services, delivery, production capacity, and customized solutions offered by a supplier are important criteria for selection.
