Expert for coatings & material protection
The right coating saves time, money and nerves – I'll show you what matters.
Hello, my name is Thomas Hübner and I am the head of production control at ELEO. This means that I deal with coatings and material protection on a daily basis. I find it particularly exciting to see what a difference the right surface can make: it ensures that fences, gates, railings and pavilions remain stable, functional and attractive even after many years. Each variant – whether uncoated, powder-coated or hot-dip galvanised – has its own strengths, which I know inside out.
In my articles, I explain in practical terms how to choose the right coating, care for metal and wrought iron products and maintain them in the long term. This will allow you to enjoy the beauty of your ELEO products for many years to come.
