‘Cheap and cheerful’ could cost a life. Are your security barriers weakened by rust?

01 March 2010

Corrosion shortens the life-expectancy of security barriers and diminishes their ability to resist attack. Not something you want to find out when criminals are pounding your security gate with a crowbar. Cheap barriers on doors and windows are usually prone to rusting quickly. Good quality barriers will stay rust-free beyond their guarantee period with a little regular cleaning.

How Trellidor barriers resist rust:

• We use a state-of-the-art powder coating process including a pre-treatment process to enhance our products' corrosion resistance properties.
• Our steel components are roll-formed into u-channel profiles with reinforced edges rolled back 180 so all surfaces are coated and corrosion resistant. Competitors use square tubing which is difficult to coat inside, resulting in corrosion from the inside out.
• Many of our moving components are manufactured with glass-filled nylon rather than steel, so there is no danger of rust. This Nylon 6/6 material has proven its worth in the motor industry.
• We offer extended guarantees of three years at the coast and five years inland on the manufacturing and workmanship of our products.
• We demonstrate how to clean your barriers to extend their life well after the guarantees have expired.
