Corrosion Prevention And Control At The Coast

A coat of paint on your prized possessions can be immensely rewarding or a disappointing disaster if you don’t prepare your surfaces and use the right products. 

 
Preparation Is Key

The secret of any coating system is preparation. Most paint manufacturers offer quick-fix products at very reasonable rates and after following the instructions carefully the faults appear within months of completion. 

In any coastal area, the deterioration of materials happens at a much faster rate than inland because of the harsh weather conditions and moisture in the air. Interesting to note that this deterioration is even noticeable in weathering speed of the first two rows of seafront houses.

 
Protect Your Valuable Assets From The Harsh Coastal Environment

Hot dip galvanizing steel definitely works but eventually, the zinc in the galvanizing is depleted and the steel is exposed to the elements. This is when the corrosion process begins. To assist in the prevention of corrosion, Overberg Sandblasting and Coatings offers effective long-term solutions.

 
Overberg Sandblasting And Coatings, Leaders In Corrosion Control

For over ten years, Overberg Sandblasting and Coatings, has developed processes and coating systems to protect valuable assets from the harsh coastal environment. Whether it’s garden furniture, balustrading, boat trailers, farm implements or steel structures the leading steelworks company in Stanford offers long-term solutions to corrosion control.

 
How It Works

1. Surfaces are first sandblasted to remove any rust, corrosion and paint
2. A fresh coat of high-quality paint or varnish is then applied, to seal the surface 

 
Regular Maintenance Checks

It’s important to remember that regular maintenance and resurfacing go a long way to keeping steel items in top condition and looking great. Often, the biggest mistake is that items are left for too long before action is taken, and the strength of the steel is compromised. 

 
Welding Services

Overberg Sandblasting and Coatings also offer a welding service that includes modifications and repairs prior to coating.
