Hello everyone,
I’m currently getting quotes for French balconies and balcony railings. One metalworker offered me a price for V2A stainless steel with a brushed finish, while another said that the quality (alloy?) of V2A has declined significantly and that it’s definitely better to use V4A.
I asked the first metalworker if V2A is really durable and rust-resistant, and he said they have had positive experience with this material for over 20 years.
Have you also heard of problems with V2A or can you understand these concerns?
I’m a bit frustrated, especially since V4A makes a big difference in price.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I know, that’s why I said 2 amps might be enough in Fukda, but in Husum it’s not sufficient; you need 4 amps at the house as well. Just try to find an outdoor lamp in A4 stainless steel.

Stainless steel and rust-resistant steel are not identical...

Stainless steel as a term is nonsense anyway. And “noble steel” actually means something completely different.

Still, people say it that way. Niro. Or stainless steel rust-free. Or VA steel. And they always mean something that remains shiny.
