Questions and Answers

Electrolytic: the procedure involves a continuous passage of electric current through a zinc-saline solution, where an anode and a cathode are immersed (object to be galvanized which acts as a conductor). The material at the end of treatment remains covered by several zinc micrometres.

• Advantages: the surface is treated with few deposits and no deformation of the materials occurs even if not very thick.
• Disadvantages: it is not recommended for outdoor materials due to minimum corrosion resistance.

Hot galvanization: the procedure takes place by immersion in a tank of molten zinc at a temperature of about 450.

• Advantages: total coverage of the material takes place both internally and externally, in addition to ensuring high resistance to corrosion, it is in fact recommended for outdoor materials.
• Disadvantages: the material on the surface can present many impurities to the eye and to the touch.

Corten is a special steel that was patented in 1933 as a low-alloy, high-strength, self-passivating, patinable defined steel.

After about 18-36 months, the material reaches its self-oxidation process: it shows a reddish-brown patina that protects the material itself from atmospheric agents.

It does not require painting or other treatments.

Today, Corten is considered an innovative material for its natural appearance that does not require further treatments that are harmful to the environment.

Corten should be chosen when there is the need for a material that requires no protection against atmospheric agents, when installed outside.

Corten is made of slabs or tubulars in various sizes and thicknesses.

It does not need any kind of finish and maintenance, because it protects itself with the natural oxidation that is created on the surface from any atmospheric agent and is long lasting.

Modular fences are very easy to install. They can be assembled even by a single person. However, it is always necessary to comply with the conditions provided by the applicable regulations and legislation.

The tools required for the installation of modular fences are usually those commonly used for any do-it-yourself operation. You will need a drill with a concrete drill bit, hammer, screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, and work gloves. However, it is always necessary to comply with the conditions provided by the applicable regulations and legislation.
