Key points to extend the life of galvanized steel sheets

As a corrosion-resistant and durable building material, galvanized steel plates needs to be properly maintained and maintained to ensure its long-term performance and aesthetics.

Regular cleaning

Galvanized steel is susceptible to attack by dust, dirt and chemicals, so regular cleaning is crucial. Use a mild soapy solution or detergent, add water and gently clean the surface, then rinse with clean water. Avoid using acidic cleaners as they may damage the galvanizing.

Check and repair damage

Regularly inspect the surface of galvanized steel, paying special attention to any scratches, scrapes or breaks. If any damage is found, repair it promptly to prevent further corrosion. Small areas of damage can be repaired using galvanized repair paint.

Lubricate hinges and connections

If hinges or connections are used on galvanized steel, lubricate them regularly to ensure their proper functioning. Use mechanical lubricants to reduce wear and friction.

Avoid standing water

Moisture is one of the main factors causing corrosion of galvanized steel sheets. Make sure that water does not collect on the galvanized steel, especially on a flat surface. Make sure the drainage system is clear to prevent water from being stagnant for long periods of time.

Regular coating maintenance

Some galvanized steel may have additional coatings such as paint or coatings. Check these coatings regularly to make sure they are not blistered, peeling or damaged. If there are problems, repair or recoat to maintain the integrity of the protective coating.

Check screws and bolts regularly

If galvanized steel sheets are used to secure components, regularly check the tightening of screws and bolts. Loose screws and bolts can cause steel plates to shift, increasing the risk of corrosion.
