Lifetime Warranty for Steel Buildings: Commercial and Industrial Solutions
29 October 2021. By Aaron Barker, Sales Lead
Does Steelcorp Offer a Product Warranty?
IN BRIEF
- Steelcorp offers a lifetime structural warranty on all our steel structures, covering the structural steel members fabricated in-house.
- Steel members are hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust and corrosion for at least 100 years.
- Components purchased from suppliers, such as COLORBOND® steel, come with their original manufacturer’s warranty.
- Our structures are designed to perform with little maintenance, however certain components may need maintenance over time to keep them in the best shape.
Our Lifetime Warranty
Steelcorp is one of Australia’s most experienced design and construct firms. With over 100 years of combined experience, our team knows how to build a structure the right way. Peace of mind is very important for our customers, and that’s why we offer a lifetime structural warranty on all our steel structures.
Whether it is a commercial structure, a custom-designed industrial building, or an agribusiness facility, you can be sure that you will receive a lifetime warranty on the structural components we manufacture in-house. Additionally, all the components that we purchase from suppliers, such as COLORBOND®, are supplied with their original manufacturer’s warranty.
Designed and Built With Care
From the initial design and engineering stages right through to handing over the warehouse project, we take care to design and build your structure the right way so it is strong, practical, and fit for purpose.

Every project is professionally certified by our engineering experts, giving you the assurance that it is structurally sound and built for longevity. Once the design, structural engineering, and certification are locked in, we focus on providing our customers with incredible quality workmanship and excellence in fabrication. Our hardworking manufacturing team uses a stringent quality control process to ensure every component is up to scratch.
What’s Covered in the Lifetime Structural Warranty?
Our lifetime structural warranty covers the structural steel members that we fabricate in-house. At Steelcorp, all our steel is hot-dip galvanised, meaning it won’t rust or corrode, and can withstand very harsh environments. The zinc coating applied to the steel drastically slows down the corrosion process, meaning the steel won’t need any maintenance for at least 100 years.

For components such as COLORBOND® steel, this carries its own manufacturer’s warranty. COLORBOND® steel products are warranted for up to 25 years. Please note that improper installation, such as placing COLORBOND® steel directly in contact with soil or concrete without a membrane, can void the warranty. Ensuring proper installation protects your investment for the long term.
Understanding Material Limitations
We stand behind all our projects. However, if you choose to go with another commercial steel supplier, it’s important to know what you’re getting. Certain components may need maintenance over time to keep them in the best shape. For example, at Steelcorp, we don’t offer painted steel, although many other industrial steel builders do.

A 15-year painted steel coating will satisfy the minimum requirements of a building from an engineering perspective, but this means some maintenance will eventually be required. Cleaning and simple maintenance are part of building ownership. This is especially important in industrial areas where pollutants or diesel fumes can contribute to degradation over time.
Caring for Your Steel Structure
Proper care ensures the longevity of your industrial shed. Rainwater handles most of the cleaning, but annual washing is recommended to remove grime and salts. For properties near the coast, selecting hot-dip galvanising offers robust protection against corrosion. Maintaining gutters by using self-cleaning options, such as half-round gutters, also contributes to long-term performance.
Quality Commercial and Industrial Structures – Guaranteed for Life
If you need help designing a structure that will look great and remain strong for decades, Steelcorp can help. Our expert team has experience in industrial steel buildings, commercial warehouses, manufacturing facilities, rural structures, and more. Our design consultants take the time to visit your site, work with you through the process, and build a tough and reliable structure that will serve your needs for years to come.
