Metal Surfaces Clause Samples
The 'Metal Surfaces' clause defines the standards and requirements for the treatment, protection, or finishing of metal surfaces within a project or contract. Typically, this clause outlines acceptable materials, preparation methods, and coatings to prevent corrosion or ensure durability, such as specifying the use of galvanized steel or requiring certain types of paint or sealant.
