Durability of Galvanized Steel Framing for Residential Building is a study by the International Zinc Association (IZA) that measures actual zinc and zinc alloy coating corrosion rates of steel framing samples in four different home environments in the U.S.A. and Canada. The NAHB Research Center, a subsidiary of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) was the research contractor. Results presented in this summary report are based on the corrosion data presented in the Research Center’s seven-year sample retrieval report that is available from IZA or from the Steel Framing Alliance’s online store at www.steelframing.org.
