The safety grills, be it for windows, balcony or grills, shall always be treated with anti-rust solution. Anti-rusting refers to the protection of metal surfaces from corroding.
Metals have a tendency to have chemical reactions with air and water when exposed to harsh environmental conditions, causing the metal to rust or corrode. For example, if iron is exposed to corrosive atmosphere for an extended period, the iron will start rusting due to oxygen interaction with water on the iron’s surface. Therefore it’s very essential to treat metals with anti-rust solution especially those exposed to environment.
