Galvanize It! Core Webinar
July 16th, 2026
1:00pm ET
The Core Galvanize It! seminar introduces you to the basics of hot-dip galvanized steel. This course will examine the hot-dip galvanizing process as well as other zinc coatings, and detail the intrinsic benefits galvanizing provides.
This course is accredited by AIA and RCEP to provide 1.0 LU/PDH (HSW Hour)
Galvanize It! Hot-Dip Galvanized AESS Webinar
July 21st, 2026
1:00pm ET
Although not originally intended as an aesthetic finish, many architects turn to batch hot-dip galvanized Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS) to create artistic, durable, and sustainable showcase elements with a modern, industrial aesthetic. However, there are some misconceptions about the appearance of after fabrication batch hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel that can lead to misaligned expectations between the architect, steel fabricator, and galvanizer. Some architects expect the shiny, smooth, or spangled finish of galvanized sheet metal common in ductwork or corrugated panels; however, most fabricators and galvanizers know after-fabrication batch HDG steel elements rarely yield this type of appearance.

Galvanize It! Duplex Webinar
August 6th, 2026
1:00pm ET
The Duplex Systems: Coating Galvanized Steel webinar provides an overview about hot-dip galvanized steel and the synergistic benefits when coated with a paint or powder coating on top. Seminar Content includes an overview of hot-dip galvanizing and duplex systems as well as the benefits of Duplex systems, specifying duplex systems, and preparing the HDG surface. This seminar will help specifiers to understand the hot-dip galvanizing process and coating benefits, identify the benefits of utilizing paint/powder coating with hot-dip galvanizing in a duplex system, recognize the importance of communication and clear assignments of responsibility for a successful outcome, and differentiate between HDG surface conditions in order to properly prepare the zinc coating for a duplex system.
