Every day, we work with Unistrut on a countless variety of projects and applications across the country. The most commonly specified and purchased part number in the line-up is Unistrut P1000. And if there was one question, we get more than any other, it is this -- “How do I know which finish is best for my channel?” So, in today’s Tech Talk, we are walking through the basics of available Unistrut materials and finishes to help you select the appropriate material for your job.
Material Selection
The first step in the specification process is to decide on a material. When selecting a Unistrut channel or fitting material, special care must be used when considering the working environment (interior/exterior), climate, and atmospheric conditions (wet/dry, salinity, acidity) and weight limitations.
Finish Selection
Once a material choice is made, the next step is to specify the finish. The lifespan and quality of any metal product depends on using the right coating for the intended installation environment.
