Anglo has launched its own branded galvanised steel reinforcement for window and door fabricators,
the AngloGalv brand denotes steel with a level of corrosion protection coating certified to the BS EN 10346 standard, in specified zinc coating thicknesses of Z140 and Z275.
“BS EN 10346 is the British and European standard that applies to hot-dip zinc-coated steels used in roll-forming, and conformance ensures that products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets,” Anglo’s Managing Director David Evans said.
The launch of AngloGalv follows the recent launch of Anglo’s free galvanised coating-thickness meter loan scheme.
“Available to all UK fabricators, whether they are Anglo customers or not, the meters offer a quick and easy method to check the average zinc coating thickness on the steel reinforcement they buy and ultimately put into their customers’ finished doors and windows,” David said.
“In years gone by, the quality and traceability of galvanised product entering the market from some players left a lot to be desired. This led to a certain level of mistrust and doubt in the minds of fabricators as to whether they were getting what they thought they were getting when it came to steel reinforcement.”
Anglo has also achieved the ISO9001 accreditation for quality,and the company also offers full traceability right through the production cycle. It sources steel in the UK and can provide mill certificates against each product that it manufactures.
“We test product all the way through the production cycle and we will certify that product to the customer, guaranteeing that exceptional quality is absolutely what they get,” David said. “In turn, this allows our customers to confidently invest in their operations, giving them the room to expand into new markets and win new customers.”
