The Treated Wood connector
  • Double layer corrosion barrier for extended life
  • Distinctive color for contractors/inspectors
  • Concealing color for homeowners


Problem: Corrosion
  • Treated Lumber
  • Outdoor Applications
  • Acid Rain
  • Coastal Areas/Salt Spray
  • Chemicals/Fertilizers
  • Animal Wastes
Solution: Gold Coat
  • Steel Base requiring protection
  • Secondary defensive layer of galvanization if outer layer is damaged
    • Zinc barrier protects steel from moisture and is a sacrificial layer against ionic tranfer (galvanic corrosion)
  • Primary defensive layer of non-reactive polymer coating
    • Gold Coat barrier is a revolutionary polymer coating superior to traditional zinc.
    • Gold Coat is far more effective in stopping the transfer of ions that cause corrosion.
