A refreshing change from the norm!
Our Managing Director recently commented, “When I first started in the industry, everything was red oxide. Nowadays, it’s nearly always grey!”
In the structural steel industry, protective coatings are typically specified using recognised British Standard (BS) or RAL colour systems, ensuring consistency, durability and compliance with project specifications. Grey shades remain the most common choice, making it all the more refreshing to see something different leave the workshop.
This latest load of beams, columns, PFCs, box sections and bracings has been finished in Juniper Green, giving the steelwork a distinctive and eye-catching appearance while still providing the high-performance protective coating required for structural applications.
It’s always rewarding to see clients opting for something a little different. The Juniper Green finish really showcases the fabrication and proves that structural steel doesn’t always have to be grey.
