Galvanisation is the process of covering metal with a layer of thin metal, such as zinc, that will repel corrosive electrolytes in the environment to protect the metal. Galvanised metal can have a matt texture compared to other types of metal. You can, however, keep this metal shiny with metal polishes. Be careful not to use any abrasives that might scratch the galvanised surface.
