PPGI vs Traditional Materials – Why Smart Builders Are Making the Switch in 2025

The Construction Shift You Can’t Ignore

Across India, architects and contractors are phasing out wooden and mild-steel frames in favour of PPGI (Pre-Painted Galvanised Iron). The trend isn’t hype—it’s a data-backed move toward longer-lasting, low-maintenance buildings.

5 Reasons PPGI Leads the Pack

Traditional Frames
  • Vulnerable to termites, moisture & warping
  • Require sanding, priming & repainting every few years
  • Welded joints create rust points
  • Zinc Coated removed
  • Inconsistent site fabrication slows projects
Manvik PPGI Frames
  • 100% pest-proof and dimensionally stable
  • Zero routine maintenance for decades
  • Patented rivet-joint technology—no welding, no corrosion
  • Comes with Laminated Protection
  • Factory-engineered frames cut installation time by up to 80%

Technology that Extends Building Life

Multi-Layer Coating System – Galvanised core + primer + UV-stable topcoat resists coastal humidity, industrial pollution and extreme heat.

1.5 mm Thick High-Tensile Steel – Optimised for structural rigidity without excess weight.

ISO 9001:2015 Certified Plant – Automated forming and laser-guided cutting deliver repeatable accuracy on every batch.

Installation: From Days to Hours

Traditional frames demand on-site welding, grinding and plaster touch-ups—activities that multiply labour hours and safety risks. Manvik frames arrive with:

Pre-installed bearing hinges

Pre-cut lock & holdfast sections

Protective caps and removable film

Result: a standard door opening is set, aligned and finished in about two hours—rain or shine—allowing other trades to start sooner.

Built-In Sustainability

  • Steel is 100% recyclable at end-of-life.

  • No onsite welding means zero greenhouse gas emissions from gas cutting.

  • Maintenance-free finish eliminates solvent-based paints over decades, cutting VOC pollution
