Avoiding corrosion: What are the benefits of preventing decay?

At Shed Boss, only the highest quality materials and practices are put to use when creating custom designed garages to help ensure you get the best product possible. This means building a product that will last you years and serve your needs to the fullest extent possible.

One thing that needs to be considered when looking into creating a garage in your home or workplace is longevity and avoiding decay. Exposure to the elements will naturally put your development through varying degrees of wear and tear – but avoiding serious cases of corrosion and rusting is one of the main things to focus on. 

What is corrosion?

Corrosion is the result of a chemical reaction within metal, most commonly a by-product of oxidation. This process creates a number of oxides or salts that begin eating away at the metal, leading to discolouration and, eventually, holes and overall degradation of the metal. 

The drawbacks of corrosion are wide and varied. Not only is it an aesthetic problem from a number of standpoints, but the overarching issues tend to head deeper than cosmetics alone. Corrosion often degrades the useful properties of the metal – including strength and permeability – which can lead to a whole host of problems if the issue isn't fixed or prevented. 

Luckily, Shed Boss take specific precautions towards avoiding these incidents from occurring. The materials used have all been engineered to meet the highest Australian standards in order to provide peace of mind to clients and give them the best quality product possible at the end of the project.
