Steel withstands impact and cyclic stress over a long service life, making it the ideal material for ensuring a product’s longevity. However, it is important to use quality steel and not a cheaper alternative for your project. The upfront cost might be cheaper, but in the long run, this will impact installation costs, structural safety and longevity of the product.
Improved Strength and Durability
Despite a lower upfront cost, if the steel used in your products is of poor quality, it is sure to have less longevity. It will need more frequent repairs and will likely require replacement sooner than if your fencing were made of high-quality steel.
Quality steel is the superior choice for a variety of reasons:
- Endurance: able to withstand forces such as wind, impact and pressure without failing prematurely.
- Safety: Often, a main driver for installing steel fencing is to enhance your property’s safety.
- Structural Integrity: Installing high-quality steel fencing also ensures structural integrity and instils confidence in your home’s protection.
High-quality steel is also invaluable for a range of other products, such as storage racks, handrails or trailer extensions, guaranteeing durability.
Better Accuracy and Fit
When steel does not fit properly during initial installation, additional labour hours are required as installers troubleshoot the sizing. At Metric Fencing, we have a skilled and experienced team of steel fabricators who work with efficient equipment and tools in a modern in-house facility to fabricate and create items of your choice and requirement. Our attention to detail and trusted service ensure that our high-quality steel is tailored to your project, reducing installation errors.
Greater Resistance to Corrosion
Robust corrosion protection ensures that steel remains in good condition for an extended period of time. At Metric Fencing, we are proud of our in-house powder coating team. Powder coating your high-quality steel fencing will protect your steel products from rust and corrosion, and it also comes in a range of colours to suit your property or project needs.
Powder coating is a dry powder applied to a charged surface, and unlike paint, it does not require touch-ups for chipping or fading, and it can last up to 20 years before recoating is required. This makes it an ideal coating for steel products that will be consistently exposed to harsh environments.
