Plating on Floor Tiles: Smart, Better Rust Fix

Summary for plating on floor tiles Discussion

focus_keyphrase: plating on floor tiles. Alberto Garcia asked how to protect fixed metal floor tiles from recurring rust when the tiles cannot be removed for plating. The only answer in the thread, from an unnamed responder, says they are not familiar with plated floor tiles and questions whether the tiles are zinc plated or galvanized. Rather than trying to plate them in place, the responder suggests that paint would likely be easier and better if the mental image is correct. As a specific option, they recommend painting with a zinc-rich cold galvanizing compound to help prevent future rust. The discussion does not present a true plating process for installed tiles; it leans toward surface coating as the practical solution.
