ACCEPTANCE Any instructions received by Steelguard from the Customer for the supply of Goods shall constitute acceptance by the Customer of these terms and conditions. INFORMATION The Customer acknowledges that it has authorised Steelguard to collect information about the Customer from any person, use any information it holds about the Customer, and disclose information about the Customer to any person, in the course of Steelguard’s business, including (but without limitation) credit assessment, debt collection, and direct marketing activity. If the Customer is an individual, the Customer is entitled under the Privacy Act 1993 to access and request the correction of any personal information which Steelguard holds about the Customer. PRICE Subject to clause 0, where no price is stated in writing or agreed to orally, the Goods shall be deemed to be sold at the usual price for such Goods sold by Steelguard at the time of the agreement, taking into account Steelguard’s usual labour and materials rates. The Price may be increased by the amount of any reasonable increase in the cost of supply of the Goods that is beyond the control of Steelguard between the date of the agreement and delivery of the Goods. An allowance has been made for ‘consultancy’ work (CAD shop drawings, etc.) to ensure a good working relationship. Only two drawing revisions have been allowed for. Additional charges will apply if more than two revisions are required. Unless explicitly noted in our offer, our price doesn’t include PS1, PS2, or PS4 costs. PAYMENT Subject to any provision to the contrary in the Contract, or otherwise agreed by Steelguard in writing, payments shall be made on or before the 20th day of the month following the date of delivery and/or the supply of the Goods. Steelguard may require payment for Goods supplied from time to time, to be paid by the Customer by way of direct debit authority. The Customer will, upon request by Steelguard, provide a signed direct debit authority to Steelguard, together with any necessary information required by Steelguard to register the direct debit authority with the Customer’s bank and otherwise ensure the validity of the Customer’s authority for initiating direct debit payments. Steelguard may withhold delivery or provision of Goods pending receipt and registration of the Customer’s direct debit authority. Any additional payment due by the Customer pursuant to any of the provisions of the Contract shall be added to the contract price and paid at the time provided for payment of the contract price in the Contract or in these Terms and Conditions. If at any time any payment due to Steelguard under the Contract is not paid when due or if Steelguard at any time considers the ability of the Customer to meet its payment obligations under the contract is in doubt, Steelguard may suspend the Contract until full payment is received and/ or require security for payment and may by notice suspend performance of its obligations under the Contract until payment is received and/ or security is provided to the satisfaction of Steelguard. All costs and expenses of or incurred by Steelguard as a result (direct or indirect) of such suspension and any recommencement shall be payable by the Customer upon demand. Where the payment terms between Steelguard and the Customer provide for any maintenance, performance or other form of payment retention to be held by the Customer, Steelguard shall be entitled in lieu of any such retention to provide the Customer with a performance bond in favour of the customer and in the amount of the retention that would otherwise be held issued on terms usual in the construction industry by Steelguard’s trading bank. The Customer shall not be entitled to withhold payment or to make any deductions or set off from the price of the Contract without the prior written consent of Steelguard. The Vendor may apply any payments received from or on behalf of the Customer in the reduction of amounts owing in such order and manner as Steelguard thinks fit (despite any direction to the contrary and whether before or after the occurrence of an event of default). Interest may be charged on any amount owing after the due date at the rate of 2.5% per month or part. Steelguard will provide the Customer with a GST invoice by the end of the calendar month in which the Goods are supplied or, in the case of an adjustment note, in a timely manner. The Customer shall also be liable to pay all expenses and legal costs of Steelguard (calculated as between solicitor and own client) in remedying any failure by the Customer to make payment on the due date or any other breach by the Customer of the Contract, such expenses and costs being calculated up to the date of payment by the Customer and/or the remedying of the breach of the Contract by the Customer. QUOTATION Where a quotation is given by Steelguard for Goods, the quotation shall be valid for 30 calendar days from the date of issue. On acceptance, the quoted Price is the price the Customer agrees to pay, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Where Goods are required in addition to the quotation, the Customer agrees to pay for the additional cost of such Goods. The items mentioned in the quotation (where the Contract arises from a quotation by Steelguard) or the terms contained in Steelguard’s confirmation of order (where the Contract arises from an order by the Customer), together with these Terms and Conditions, shall be the conditions of the Contract. All other conditions, warranties, descriptions, representations, conditions as to fitness or suitability for any purpose, tolerance to any conditions, mechanicability or otherwise (whether of a like nature or not) and whether expressed or implied by law, trade, custom or otherwise are expressly excluded and in the case of any conflict between an order submitted by the Customer and Steelguard’s confirmation of order and these Terms and Conditions, Steelguard’s confirmation of order and these Terms and Conditions shall prevail. No agent or representative of Steelguard is authorised to make any representations, warranties, conditions or agreements not expressly confirmed by Steelguard in writing, and Steelguard is not in any way bound by any such unauthorised statements nor can any such statements be taken to form the Contract or part of the Contract with Steelguard, whether collateral or otherwise. AGENCY The Customer authorises Steelguard to agree either as principal or agent for the carriage, storage, or protection of the Goods, and any such agreement will be made upon the terms and subject to the conditions of any bill of lading or any other forms or terms of agreement for carriage, whether by sea, road, rail, or air. Where Steelguard enters into an agreement of the type referred to in clause 1, it shall be read with, and form part of this agreement, and the Customer agrees to pay any amounts due under that agreement. DELIVERY OF THE GOODS Delivery shall be made at the place indicated in the Contract, or if no place shall be indicated in the Contract (and in the case of sales ex-works), delivery shall be made at Steelguard’s premises. If the Customer fails or refuses or indicates to Steelguard that he will fail or refuse to take or accept delivery, then the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered when Steelguard was willing to deliver them. Steelguard reserves the right to deliver the Goods by instalments, and Steelguard shall be entitled to require that each instalment be regarded as a separate contract under the same provisions as the Contract. Should Steelguard fail to deliver or make defective delivery of one or more instalments, this shall not entitle the Customer to repudiate the Contract. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which it may have, Steelguard may charge storage, transportation and disposal expenses and may in addition receive from the Customer any additional costs, charges and expenses incurred by it if the Customer fails or refuses to take or accept delivery or indicates to Steelguard that it will fail or refuse to take or accept delivery at the time specified in the Contract or at any such other times as Steelguard is able to deliver the Goods. The Customer shall give to Steelguard reasonable notice of the dates and times at which and the quantities in which the Goods are to be delivered. Steelguard shall be entitled to make an additional charge of an amount to be determined by Steelguard for deliveries made before 7.30am or after 5.00pm on weekdays, before 7:30am or after 11am on Saturdays, and at any time on Sundays and statutory holidays. The Customer shall provide suitable access to and a suitable area for unloading the Goods in all weather conditions. Damage to footpaths, kerbs, drains, verges, or other property caused by any of Steelguard’s vehicles in the course of deliveries beyond the kerb line shall be the Customer’s responsibility, and the Customer shall indemnify and hereby indemnifies Steelguard from and against all costs, expenses, claims, actions, and liabilities whatsoever in connection therewith. The Customer shall, at their own cost, ensure that the Goods are unloaded immediately upon arrival of Steelguard’s delivery vehicle(s). In the case of unloading by mechanical means, Steelguard shall not be bound to dispatch its delivery vehicle(s) until it is satisfied that the equipment required to unload the Goods is on site and ready for operation. Steelguard shall not be responsible for any malfunction of or damage caused to any such equipment in the course of unloading the Goods, and the Customer shall indemnify Steelguard from and against all costs, expenses, claims, actions, and liabilities whatsoever in connection therewith. Steelguard shall be entitled to charge waiting time for delays by the Customer in unloading the Goods by whatever means and handling charges for any unloading work carried out by Steelguard. Such charges shall be at Steelguard’s current rate from time to time. Steelguard will endeavour to have the Goods delivered on the agreed delivery dates, but will not be held liable for late delivery. Late delivery does not entitle the Customer to cancel any order or part order of the Goods. Notwithstanding these Terms and Conditions, any claim for Goods damaged in transit or during unloading or for alleged short delivery of Goods must be noted on the delivery docket at the time of delivery (as it pertains to damage) and notified to Steelguard within two days after the date of delivery (as it pertains to both damages and short delivery). RISK AND PROPERTY IN THE GOODS The risk in the Goods supplied by Steelguard to the Customer shall pass to the Customer upon delivery pursuant to clause 0 or receipt of the Goods, but the ownership in them shall not pass to the Customer until the Customer has paid for the same and discharged all outstanding indebtedness to Steelguard whatsoever. Receipt by Steelguard of any cheque or other bill of exchange or any promissory note shall not be deemed to be payment or conditional payment until the same has been honoured or cleared, and until such time shall not prejudice or affect the rights, powers or remedies of Steelguard against the Customer and/or the Goods. Until payment in full of the purchase price for the Goods and all outstanding indebtedness to Steelguard has been paid and Steelguard has released the Security Interest: The Customer shall separately store the Goods in such a way that it is clear that they are the property of Steelguard; and in the event of a default in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, the Customer hereby irrevocably gives Steelguard, its agents and servants leave and licence without the necessity of giving any notice whatsoever to enter on and into any premises occupied by the Customer to search for and remove any of the Goods supplied to or in which Steelguard has ownership as aforesaid or a Security Interest, without in any way being liable to the Customer or any person or company claiming through the Customer and if the Goods or any of them become accessions and are wholly or partially attached to or incorporated in any other property, Steelguard may disconnect or sever them in any way whatsoever as may be necessary to remove the Goods; and all costs, claims, proceedings, damages, and expenses of or incurred by Steelguard as a result of any such action together with transportation and storage charges and legal costs (as between solicitor and own client) shall be payable by the Customer upon demand. Any suspension of the Contract by Steelguard shall not prevent it from terminating the Contract during the period of suspension. In the event that the Customer is not purchasing the Goods for the Customer’s own use and until payment in full of the purchase price and all outstanding indebtedness has been made, the Customer acknowledges and agrees as follows: that the Goods supplied are held by the Customer as bailee to be sold by it as agent for and on behalf of Steelguard; and if the Goods have been resold by the Customer prior to payment in full of the outstanding indebtedness of the Customer to Steelguard, then any book debts thus created in the proceeds of resale shall be the property of Steelguard for an amount not more than such indebtedness, which shall be held in trust by the Customer for Steelguard and the proceeds shall be placed in a separate Bank account in such a way as to be identifiable as being to the beneficial ownership of Steelguard; and the authority conferred on the Customer by clause 3(a) may be revoked by written notice from Steelguard at any time if Steelguard deems the credit of the Customer to be unsatisfactory or if the Customer is in default in the performance of its obligations under the Contract or any other agreement between Steelguard and the Customer and shall be deemed to be automatically revoked on the happening of any event of default described in these Terms and Conditions. The Purchaser must promptly advise Steelguard of any event of default or any action by third parties (including any of its creditors) affecting Steelguard’s interest in the Goods. The Vendor may bring an action for monies owed even where the ownership of the Goods has not passed to the Customer. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 (“the PPSA”) Without limiting the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Customer and Steelguard acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the PPSA: These Terms and Conditions: create a Security Interest in, and constitute a Security Agreement in respect of the Goods in favour of Steelguard; and confirm that the Goods constitute the Collateral until payment in full has been made to Steelguard for the Goods and the Security Interest has been released by Steelguard; and hereby create in favour of Steelguard, a Security Interest in respect of each item supplied by Steelguard and all present and after-acquired property being Goods supplied by Steelguard to the Customer; and confirm that the Security Interest attaches to the Collateral when the Goods are delivered to or received by the Customer pursuant to clause 0 hereof; and Steelguard may forthwith register a financing statement in respect of the Security Interest; and The Customer undertakes: to promptly do all things necessary and sign all documents and provide all information which Steelguard may reasonably require to enable Steelguard to perfect and maintain the perfection of its Security Interest; and to give Steelguard not less than 14 days' prior written notice of any proposed change of the Customer’s name and any of the Customer’s details, and not to allow any non-purchase money security interest to arise in respect of the Goods unless Steelguard has perfected its Security Interest prior to the Customer taking delivery of the Goods, or alternatively the Customer has provided a priority to Steelguard in respect of the Security Interest of Steelguard over the non-purchase money security interest; and not to permit the Goods to become Accessions or commingled with other goods or mass; to the extent permitted by law, the Customer and Steelguard contract out of Part 9 of the PPSA in that: The rights and obligations contained in sections 114(1)(a), 125, 129, 132, 133, and 134 of the PPSA do not apply between the Customer and Steelguard; and The Customer waives its rights contained in sections 121 and 131 of the PPSA and the right to receive any financing statement or financing change statement from Steelguard pursuant to section 148 of the PPSA. The Purchaser agrees that the Security Interest has the same priority in relation to all amounts owing by the Purchaser from time to time. DELAY If any time for delivery of the Goods and Services or completion of the Contract or any part thereof is stated in the Contract, such time shall be approximate only and shall not be deemed to be of the essence of the Contract. Steelguard shall not be liable for failure to deliver or for any delay in delivery where such failure or delay is occasioned by strike, combination of workmen lockout, difficulty in procuring components or materials, shortage of labour, lack of skilled labour, delays in transit, failure or delay to the Customer in performing any of its obligations hereunder, failure or delays by suppliers or subcontractors, legislative Government or other prohibitions or restraints, fire, flood, hostilities, commotions or other causes whatsoever (whether similar in nature or not to the foregoing) beyond Steelguard’s reasonable control. If the manufacture, supply or delivery of the Goods and Services is delayed by reason of or as a result of any act, omission, default or request by or on behalf of the Customer, Steelguard may without prejudice to its other rights and remedies require payment by the Customer of such portion of the contract price as represents the extent to which Steelguard has performed the Contract or carried out work required by the Contract up to the date such payment is required together with any expenses or additional costs incurred by Steelguard as a result of such delay continuing beyond a reasonable time and/or Steelguard may, without prejudice to its other remedies terminate the Contract. RETURN OF GOODS The Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods as suitable and complying with the specification unless the Customer notifies Steelguard otherwise within 48 hours of delivery or installation of the Goods to the Customer. If the Goods are validly rejected according to clause 1, the Customer shall pay for the delivery of the returned Goods to Steelguard, whereby the Customer shall be entitled to a credit for the purchase price of the Goods. LIABILITY Except for such warranties which cannot be excluded by virtue of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the CGA) or any amending or substituting legislation, all warranties, descriptions, representations or conditions whether implied by law, trade, custom or otherwise are, and all liability of Steelguard, whether in tort (including negligence) contract or otherwise, is expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. The warranties and guarantees implied by the CGA or any amending or substituting legislation, all warranties, descriptions, representations or conditions whether implied by law, trade, custom or otherwise, and all liability of Steelguard, whether in tort (including negligence), contract or otherwise, are expressly excluded in relation to the Goods purchased for the purposes of a business. The total liability of Steelguard for any loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from any defect in or non-compliance of any of the Goods or any other breach of Steelguard’s obligations shall in any case be limited, except where statutes expressly require otherwise, to the lesser of the purchase price of the Goods complained of, the cost of repairing or replacing the Defective Goods and/or the actual loss or damage suffered by the Customer. Steelguard shall not be liable in any event for any consequential, indirect, or special damage, loss, or injury of any kind suffered by the Customer or any other person. While Steelguard will make every effort to ensure the accuracy of any advice, recommendation, information, assistance, or service provided by Steelguard in relation to the Goods manufactured or the Goods supplied by Steelguard on their use or application, Steelguard does not accept liability or responsibility in respect thereof. Where the Customer supplies the Goods in trade to a person acquiring them for business purposes, it must be a term of the Customer’s contract with the purchaser that the CGA or any amending or substituting legislation does not apply in respect of the Goods so sold. The Customer agrees to indemnify Steelguard against any liability or cost incurred by Steelguard under the CGA or any amending or substituting legislation as a result of any breach by the Customer of the obligations contained in these Terms and Conditions. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the CGA or any amending or substituting legislation, except to the extent permitted by that Act, and these terms are to be modified to the extent necessary to give effect to that intention. DEFAULT PAYMENT, AND PAYMENT VALIDITY If the Customer defaults in the due payment of any moneys payable to Steelguard under the Contract or if the Customer commits any act of bankruptcy, enters into any composition or arrangement with its creditors (or in the case of a company), does any act which would render it liable to be wound up or have a receiver or a manager appointed over its property, Steelguard, without prejudice to any other right it has at law or in equity may at its option suspend or terminate the Contract and payment of the Goods delivered and performed up to the date of such suspension or termination and any other moneys payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable and Steelguard may enforce the Security Interest, under the PPSA as recorded in these Terms and Conditions, in the Goods. In any of the foregoing events, Steelguard also reserves the right as agent of the Customer to enter upon the land or premises where the Goods are situated without notice and take possession of and remove the Goods from the said land or premises at any time convenient to Steelguard and Steelguard shall not be responsible for any consequential loss or damage to the said land or premises or any person removing the same. The Customer agrees to obtain all consents necessary to enable Steelguard to take possession of the Goods and indemnifies Steelguard against all liability in connection with such entry into the said land or premises and the taking possession and removal of the Goods. Steelguard may resell the Goods and any of the Goods in the possession of Steelguard and apply the proceeds in or towards payment of the Contract price. All costs, claims, proceedings, damages, and expenses of or incurred by Steelguard as a result of any such action, together with transportation, storage charges, and legal costs (as between solicitor and own client) shall be payable by the Customer upon demand. Any suspension of the Contract by Steelguard shall not prevent it from terminating the Contract during the period of suspension. The Customer acknowledges that Steelguard continues to supply the Customer on the condition that all payments received by Steelguard from the Customer are valid and are made in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business. The Customer further acknowledges that Steelguard receives all payments in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business, in good faith and in the reasonably held belief as to the validity of those payments unless and until the Customer gives notice in writing to Steelguard: that the Customer is unable to pay its debts; and that the Customer’s intention or purpose in making such payment is to enable Steelguard to receive more towards the satisfaction of its debt than it would otherwise have received or have been likely to have received in any liquidation of the Customer, and until receipt of such notice, all payments received from the Customer are deemed to be made in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business. COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Steelguard shall retain ownership of all intellectual property and copyright of all documents, designs, and ideas associated with the Goods, and the Customer shall be entitled to use them only for the use for which they were intended and supplied by Steelguard. WARRANTY Where the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are excluded pursuant to clause 12, the Goods are warranted free from defective workmanship and materials for 1 year from installation, provided that the Goods are correctly installed by a qualified person and subject to normal use and Steelguard warrants that it will repair or make good any defects in materials or workmanship (“the Defective Goods”) arising within the period specified in the Contract or, where no time is specified, within 14 days from the date of delivery of the Goods and Services. No claim shall be accepted under such warranty unless written notice of the claim is received by Steelguard as soon as reasonably possible after the defect is discovered, nor shall any claim be accepted: if any attempt to repair the Defective Goods is made by any person or persons not authorised by Steelguard to effect such repairs; or if the Defective Goods have been modified or incorrectly stored, maintained, installed, or operated. Should Steelguard elect to repair any of the Defective Goods, such repair shall be effected at such place as Steelguard may specify, and the Customer shall be responsible for shipment of the Defective Goods to the place or places specified. In the event that the Goods and Services or any component or components thereof are not manufactured or provided by Steelguard, then the foregoing warranty shall not apply to such Goods or Services, component or components as are not manufactured or provided by Steelguard, and no warranties are given by Steelguard in respect of such Goods and Services, component or components. In the case where the manufacturer or supplier of any such Goods and Services, component or components provides any warranty, then Steelguard shall make such warranty available to the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that all such warranties are published from time to time by Steelguard and copies of such warranties are available to the Customer at any time upon request. If Steelguard fails to perform its warranty obligations under clause 2 hereof, Steelguard’s liability for such failure shall be limited to damages, which shall be subject to the limitations contained in clause 13.0 hereof.

Get in touch to find out how we can help on your project GET IN TOUCH Featured Project CHAMBERS AND STATION MT EDEN - AUCKLAND Frequently Asked Questions: Heritage Steel Windows And Doors Can Heritage Steel Windows Be Repaired Instead Of Replaced? Yes, many heritage steel windows can be repaired or refurbished if the main frame still has enough structural integrity. This may include easing seized openings, repairing damaged sections, replacing worn hardware, improving seals, reglazing, treating corrosion and refinishing the steel. What Is Involved In Steel Window Refurbishment? Steel window refurbishment usually starts with assessing the condition of the existing frames, glazing, fixings, hinges, handles and surrounding structure. From there, the work may include cleaning, repairing, replacing damaged components, addressing corrosion, improving operation and applying a suitable finish to help protect the window for future use. Do You Work On Heritage Doors As Well As Heritage Windows? Yes. Steelguard works on heritage doors and windows, including steel-framed doors, glazed steel doors, original hardware, ironmongery and related steel joinery. The goal is to retain as much original character as practical while improving usability, durability and performance. Can New Steel Windows Be Made To Match Heritage Joinery? Yes. Where original windows or doors are missing, damaged beyond repair or need to be replicated for a new section of the building, new steel joinery can be custom manufactured to align with the original style, proportions and project requirements. This is often useful for staged refurbishments, additions or mixed old-and-new architectural projects. Do You Provide Heritage Joinery Services Outside Auckland? Yes. Steelguard is based in Auckland, but we work on projects across New Zealand, Oceania and beyond. The right approach depends on the project scope, site access, documentation, programme and whether the work involves refurbishment, new fabrication, installation or a combination of services. Can Heritage Steel Windows Be Upgraded For Modern Building Use? In many cases, yes. Depending on the frame condition and project requirements, heritage steel windows may be improved for smoother operation, better durability, safer glazing, weather protection or ongoing maintenance. Any upgrade needs to be considered carefully so the original character of the building is not lost. Who Should Use Heritage Steel Window Refurbishment Services? Heritage steel window refurbishment is suited to building owners, architects, heritage consultants, project managers and contractors working on older commercial buildings, public buildings, apartments, schools, churches, railway buildings, civic assets and architecturally significant properties. It is also useful where original steel windows and doors remain valuable but need practical repair or long-term maintenance.

Hot Wire Zinc Spray Hot zinc wire spray, also known as thermal-sprayed zinc, is a surface coating process used to protect metal substrates, primarily steel, from corrosion. This method involves the application of molten zinc onto the surface of the substrate, creating a protective layer that acts as a barrier against environmental factors. Here’s a more detailed explanation of the process: Process Steps: Surface Preparation: The metal substrate (often steel) is cleaned thoroughly to remove any rust, scale, or contaminants. Proper surface preparation is crucial for the effectiveness of the coating. Wire Feeding: In the hot zinc wire spray process, zinc is typically used in the form of wire. The zinc wire is fed into a specialized spray gun. Melting: The spray gun incorporates a heat source, which can be an oxy-fuel flame or an electric arc. As the zinc wire passes through the flame or arc, it is heated and melted. Spraying: The molten zinc is propelled onto the prepared surface of the metal substrate using compressed air or another suitable gas. The high velocity of the sprayed zinc ensures even distribution and good adhesion to the substrate. Solidification: Upon contact with the substrate, the molten zinc rapidly solidifies, forming a protective coating on the surface. Key Characteristics and Benefits: Corrosion Protection: The primary purpose of hot zinc wire spray is to provide corrosion protection. Zinc, through a sacrificial corrosion process, corrodes preferentially to the base metal, thus protecting the substrate from rust and corrosion. Uniform Coating: The spraying process allows for the creation of a uniform and consistent coating, even on complex or irregularly shaped surfaces. Adhesion: The high velocity of the molten zinc particles aids in achieving strong adhesion to the substrate, creating a metallurgical bond. Durability: The resulting zinc coating is durable and provides long-lasting protection against environmental elements. Versatility: Hot zinc wire spray can be applied to various metal substrates, making it suitable for a range of applications in industries such as construction, infrastructure, and marine . Efficiency: The process is relatively fast and can be more efficient for large-scale projects compared to some other coating methods. Considerations: Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is critical for the success of the coating. Any contaminants or corrosion on the substrate should be removed to ensure optimal adhesion. Environmental Impact: The process may generate fumes, and consideration should be given to the environmental impact. Adequate ventilation and safety measures are often implemented. Hot zinc wire spray is widely used in industries where corrosion protection is essential, especially for steel structures exposed to harsh environmental conditions. It’s an effective and economical method to extend the lifespan of metal components and structures. Tony cleaning before painting. Project at Bunnings, New Lynn. A few steel colour examples. BROWSE MORE COLOURS OPTIONS Galvanising Galvanizing is a process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron to prevent rusting and corrosion. This method is widely used in various industries, especially in construction, automotive, and infrastructure, to enhance the durability and longevity of metal structures and components. There are two primary methods of galvanising: Hot-Dip Galvanising In the hot-dip galvanising process, steel or iron articles are immersed in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature typically around 450°C (850°F). The chemical reaction between the iron or steel substrate and the molten zinc forms a series of zinc-iron alloy layers on the surface of the metal. This creates a metallurgical bond, providing a robust and durable coating. The coated articles are then removed from the zinc bath, and the zinc coating solidifies to form a protective layer. Electro-galvanising (Electroplating) Electro-galvanising is a process where a thin layer of zinc is electrochemically deposited onto the steel or iron surface. The metal articles serve as the cathode, and a zinc anode is dissolved in an electrolyte solution. The zinc ions in the solution are then attracted to the steel or iron substrate, forming a zinc coating on the surface. Advantages of Electro-galvanising Smoother finish: Electro-galvanised coatings are generally smoother and thinner compared to hot-dip galvanised coatings. Precise thickness control: The thickness of the zinc coating can be controlled more precisely. Key Benefits of Galvanising Corrosion Resistance – The zinc coating acts as a barrier, protecting the underlying steel or iron from exposure to corrosive elements like moisture and oxygen. Longevity – Galvanised coatings are known for their durability and longevity, providing extended protection against rust and corrosion. Low Maintenance – Galvanised surfaces require minimal maintenance over their lifespan, reducing the need for frequent recoating or repairs. Versatility – Galvanising can be applied to a wide range of steel and iron products, from small components to large structural elements. Environmental Sustainability – Zinc is a naturally occurring element, and the galvanising process produces a durable and recyclable coating. The long lifespan of galvanized products contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for replacements. Galvanising is a popular and effective method for preserving steel and iron structures in various applications, offering robust protection against the damaging effects of corrosion. The choice between hot-dip galvanising and electro-galvanising depends on factors such as the specific requirements of the application and the desired characteristics of the coating.

Finish Coat Epoxy paint and powder coating are both popular finishes used for a variety of applications, but they have distinct characteristics and benefits. Here’s a comparison of the two: Epoxy Paint Application Flexibility Epoxy paint can be applied to various surfaces, including metals, concrete, and wood. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Ease of Application Epoxy paint is typically easier to apply than powder coating. It can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed onto surfaces. Repairability Epoxy paint is relatively easier to repair. If it gets damaged, it can be touched up or recoated without the need for extensive surface preparation. Cost Epoxy paint is often more expensive than powder coating, making it a cost-effective choice for certain applications. Colour Options Epoxy paint offers a wide range of colour options and can be easily customized to achieve specific shades. Powder Coating Durability Powder coating is known for its durability and resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading. Epoxy paint provides a more robust and long-lasting finish compared to powder coating when used externally. Environmental Considerations Powder coating is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional liquid coatings because it produces fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during application. Uniform Finish Powder coating provides a more uniform and consistent finish than liquid coatings, with no drips or sags. Thinner Coating Powder coating generally results in a thinner coating compared to epoxy paint. Epoxy paint allows us to prepare the surface by using fillers to provide a better finish. Powder coating typically sits on the surface. Efficiency in Large-Scale Production Powder coating is often preferred for large-scale production processes as it can be more efficient and cost-effective in these scenarios. Sizes and pre-finish requirements can limit the overall size of the unitised frame. Resistance to Chemicals Powder coating is more resistant to chemicals and harsh environmental conditions than epoxy paint. Considerations Application Method The choice between epoxy paint and powder coating may depend on the specific application method and the equipment available. Surface Preparation Both epoxy paint and powder coating require proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion and performance. This may include galvanising or hot wire zinc spraying. Cost and Budget Consideration of the overall project budget may influence the choice between epoxy paint and powder coating. In summary, the choice between epoxy paint and powder coating depends on factors such as the application, desired finish, durability requirements, and budget constraints. Each has its advantages, and the selection should be based on the specific needs of the project.

Get in touch to find out how we can help on your project GET IN TOUCH Custom Steel Window And Door Hardware For Heritage Projects Heritage hardware and ironmongery often determine how original steel windows and doors look, feel and operate. Handles, stays, latches, hinges, catches and closing hardware all need to suit the age of the building, the condition of the joinery and the way the opening is used today. For older commercial, civic and architectural buildings, we can help identify whether existing parts can be restored, replaced, remade or adapted as part of a wider steel window refurbishment. Where new hardware is needed, it can be developed to work with custom steel windows and doors or detailed to complement architectural steel windows and doors without losing the character of the original design. Frequently Asked Questions: Hardware And Ironmongery For Steel Windows And Doors Can Original Steel Window Hardware Be Restored? Yes, in many cases original steel window hardware can be restored if it is still structurally sound. This may include cleaning, easing, repairing, refinishing or reusing handles, stays, latches and catches so the window keeps its original character while operating properly. What Types Of Hardware Can Be Reproduced? Common reproduction items include window handles, latches, stays, catches, hinges, door pulls, escutcheons and other small ironmongery components. Larger or unusual pieces can also be considered, depending on the condition of the original part and the level of detail required. Can You Match Existing Heritage Door And Window Hardware? Yes. If a building has existing hardware that needs to be matched, we can assess the original item, its shape, size, fixing points and finish. This helps determine whether it can be repaired, replicated or remade to suit the surrounding steel window or door system. Do You Work With Art Deco Hardware? Yes. Art Deco hardware is a common part of older steel window and door refurbishment work. Matching the form, proportion and finish of these pieces matters because the hardware is often a visible part of the building’s architectural character. Is Reproduction Hardware Better Than Using Modern Standard Hardware? For heritage projects, reproduction hardware is often the better option when standard modern hardware would look out of place or fail to fit the existing steel joinery correctly. The right choice depends on the building, the required function, the condition of the original parts and the heritage value of the detail. Can Hardware Be Updated Without Losing The Heritage Look? Yes, where the existing steel joinery allows it. Some projects need hardware that looks consistent with the original design but functions better for current use. This may include smoother operation, improved durability or a more reliable closing action while keeping the visual style appropriate to the building. Who Uses Heritage Hardware And Ironmongery Services? These services are often used by building owners, architects, heritage consultants, contractors and project managers working on older commercial buildings, civic buildings, railway buildings, schools, churches, apartments and architecturally significant properties with original steel windows or doors.

Understand fire ratings for steel windows and doors. Learn how architects and fire engineers determine ratings to meet NZ building code requirements. Up WHAT IS A FIRE RATING FOR WINDOWS & DOORS? Determining Fire Ratings: Collaboreations with Architects and Fire Engineers is Essential Steelguard is widely recognised for its superior craftsmanship and dedication to delivering top-tier fire-rated windows. However, despite its expertise in steel joinery and window production, the company is not equipped to determine the specific fire rating required for a client’s project. Here’s why: • Expertise in Architecture and Building Regulations The accurate determination of a building’s fire rating hinges on a multitude of factors, including its design, location, usage, and proximity to other structures. This complex process demands a deep understanding of building codes and architectural principles. Architects and fire engineers possess the necessary expertise to collaborate with local building consent authorities and determine the appropriate fire rating. • Consideration of Local and Regional Factors Fire ratings are subject to local and regional building regulations, which can vary significantly. These regulations factor in elements such as local climate conditions, wildfire risks, and building density. Therefore, what may be suitable for one region may not be applicable to another. Seasoned architects are well-versed in navigating these regional discrepancies. • Tailoring Solutions for Each Project Each project undertaken by Steelguard is unique, presenting its own set of requirements, challenges, and objectives. The fire rating necessary for each project may vary depending on the building’s design and intended use. Such customised solutions require the expertise of professionals who are adept at designing and planning buildings. While Steelguard cannot determine the precise fire rating required for your project, the company collaborates closely with architects, builders, and homeowners to ensure that the fire-rated windows it produces meet the requisite standards. This collaborative approach ensures the delivery of products that not only boast aesthetic appeal and functionality but also adhere to the highest safety standards.

Through our 'Built to Last' and 'Built to Repair' philosophies, as well as our Revive programme (our way of keeping used-but-usable windows in circulation), we hope to reduce demand for new low-cost windows and doors with shorter lifecycles and, in turn, reduce unnecessary waste. Steelworks, Mt Eden Holy Trinity Cathedral, Parnell Cook House, Ponsonby Davis House, Ōrākei Strong Welded Connections Modern steel windows date back to the 18th century and have seen significant developments in design, manufacturing processes, and architectural applications. Steelguard steel windows and doors can create the 'loft chic' look or timeless and elegant slim line windows, doors, and internal screens. Late 18th Century: Introduction of Rolled Steel Sections: In the late 18th century, advancements in steel production technologies led to the availability of rolled steel sections. This innovation laid the groundwork for the mass production of steel windows. Early 19th Century: Art Nouveau and Art Deco Influence: In the early 19th century, the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements influenced architectural styles. Steel windows became popular for their ability to accommodate intricate designs and large, unobstructed glass panels, which aligned with the aesthetic preferences of these movements. Industrial and Commercial Use: Steel windows gained popularity in industrial and commercial settings due to their strength, durability, and the ability to create expansive window openings. 1920s-1940s: Modernist Movement: The Modernist architectural movement, which emerged in the early 20th century, favoured clean lines, functional design, and the use of industrial materials. Steel windows were embraced by architects like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe during this period. Steel Casement Windows: The design of steel casement windows became prevalent. These windows featured a steel frame with hinged openings and were often used in both residential and commercial buildings. World War II Impact: During World War II, there were restrictions on the use of steel for non-essential purposes, affecting the production and use of steel windows. Post-War Period: After the war, there was a resurgence in the use of steel windows as economies recovered and construction boomed. Steel windows continued to be favoured for their sleek, modern appearance. Late 20th Century: Competition from Aluminum: In the latter half of the 20th century, aluminium windows gained popularity as a competitor to steel. Aluminum offered advantages such as lighter weight and resistance to corrosion. However, steel is 3x stronger, and therefore smaller steel sections can be used, providing better sight lines and larger glazed areas when compared to timber, aluminum, and plastics. Working with Steel is substantially slower and largely hand-fabricated, thus increasing the cost of the finished product. A Fusion of Traditional and Modern Artisan Skills 21st Century: Resurgence in Popularity: In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of steel windows, driven by a renewed interest in industrial and minimalist design aesthetics. Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Modern manufacturing techniques, including precision engineering and finishes, have enhanced the performance and aesthetics of steel windows. Modern corrosion protection in the form of hot zinc when combined with epoxy paints mean that your steel windows will last for generations. Today, steel windows are celebrated for their timeless appeal, strength, and ability to complement a variety of architectural styles. Contemporary architects and homeowners often choose steel windows for their durability, design flexibility, and the ability to create large, elegant openings that allow abundant natural light into interior spaces.
