PRE-GALVANISED (PG)
Pre-Galvanised (PG) is a common finish used for construction products and is a typical industry standard for channel sections. Pre-galvanizing is a process where the steel is coated with zinc before being cut into pieces for manufacture. This protects the main body of the steel, but the edges exposed during cutting won’t be fully treated. For example our Pre-Galvanised channel sections are manufactured from continuously hot dip zinc coated flat steel sheets which conform to BS EN 10346:2009. Read more
