Surface Finish Options
Finish TypeDescription / StandardTypical Application
As-Rolled / Mill FinishHot rolled surface with mill scale; may be descaled or pickled.Structural applications where appearance is secondary
Pre-weathered / Pre-oxidizedArtificially aged to form a stable, insoluble patina before installation. Prevents initial "bleeding" or runoff staining.Architectural cladding, exposed facades, sculptures
Bare (Unpainted)Natural weathering allowed to form patina over time.Bridges, transmission towers, outdoor structures
Primed / Shop CoatedTemporary primer applied for protection during transport/construction.Projects requiring temporary corrosion protection before final exposure.
