How much does galvanizing cost?
Due to the relatively stable price of zinc and technology /process efficiencies in the last 20 years, hot-dip galvanizing has steadily become more competitive, and often less expensive, on an initial basis than other corrosion protection systems.
To compare the cost of hot-dip galvanizing to other protective coatings, please use the online Life-Cycle Cost Calculator. To get prices for galvanizing and contact information for AGA Member Galvanizers in a specific area, use the Galvanizer Locator or download the GalvaSource.
