Speciality Finishes

One Rule Does Not Fit All...
Due to the wide range of environmental conditions, or
bespoke aesthetic requests are standard finish ranges do
not always fit the bill,

At Valmont we constantly develop and bring to market new
and improved corrosion protection systems, whether it be
semi sheen product for architectural markets or extremely
robust anti corrosion systems for coastal areas.

Whatever your requirement Valmont Stainton will have a
solution, If don’t see what you need, just ask.

Marine Environment Finish.
A highly durable finish applied to galvanised columns to be located in or near marine (saline and corrosive) atmospheric
conditions. System type: spray paint 2-pack glass reinforced epoxy finish is applied to the column, then followed by a
polysiloxane finish to RAL, BS4800 or BS381C colours.

Required durability of system: No maintenance in first 10 years, minor maintenance between years 10 to 25, major
maintenance after 25 years.

Polyester Powder Coat.
To form a polyester powder coating, only the paint solids are sprayed onto the product, in an atomised powder form. The
powder is drawn to the product and adheres due to an electrostatic charge applied to the powder during spraying. The
column is then heated to 200 degrees Celsius in an oven, forcing the powder to fuse to the product, forming a smooth, tough
and resilient coating. This provides an even and durable finish over the galvanised steel surface. XXXX denotes customer
RAL choice.

Required durability of system: Long life system with excellent weather-proof characteristics. Damaged areas cannot, however,
be repaired due to the nature of the coating.

Glass Flake Root System.
A highly durable finish applied to galvanised column root. This system uses 2-pack glass reinforced epoxy giving excellent
abrasion, saline and corrosive resistance.

Both external root only, and internal/external root options are available upon request.

Bitumen Root.
Black bitumen coating is applied to the external root of the column, to a height of 250mm above ground level (unless
otherwise specified).

Benefits: Additional protection of the root against corrosion.
