🔧 Material & Quality
MS or SS — which is better for a gate?
MS (mild steel) is stronger, cheaper, and easier to shape — best for main gates when properly primed and painted. SS (stainless steel) is rust-resistant and low-maintenance but costs 2–3x more — best for railings and balcony grills. For most Pune homes, an MS gate with anti-rust primer and powder coating lasts 15+ years.
What steel gauge should a safety door have?
Quality safety doors use 16–18 gauge MS sheet; gate frames use 1.5–2mm thick square pipes (25×25mm to 50×50mm). Cheaper 20–22 gauge material bends easily and rusts faster. Always confirm gauge/thickness in your written quotation — we mention material specs in every quote.
Powder coating vs paint — which is better?
Powder coating lasts 8–10 years vs 3–4 years for enamel paint, gives a uniform factory finish, and resists scratches and rust better. It costs about 20–30% more. For gates and railings exposed to sun and rain, powder coating is worth it.
How do I stop my gate from rusting in Pune's monsoon?
Three steps: (1) red-oxide or zinc-chromate primer before painting, (2) two coats of good enamel paint or powder coating, (3) repaint every 3–4 years, ideally before monsoon. Check hinges and bottom edges yearly — touch up exposed metal immediately.
