Where do cold-formed profiles find their application?
Cold-formed profiles are widely used in many areas of industry and construction:
1. steel structures:
- Skeletons of buildings: Warehouses, industrial halls, commercial buildings, sports facilities.
- Roof structures: Roof trusses, purlins, rafters, support members.
- Partition walls: In lightweight construction, such as in drywall systems (C and U profiles).
- Temporary structures: Storage tents, scaffolding, construction barracks.
2 Housing:
- Frame houses: Cold-formed profiles are used as load-bearing elements in lightweight steel construction.
- Roof cladding: Support for trapezoidal sheets, sandwich panels or other roofing materials.
- Ceilings and attics: As support elements in the construction of wooden ceilings and utility attics.
3. transportation infrastructure:
- Bridge structures: Reinforcing and structural elements of bridges.
- Safety barrier components: Profiles used in road and rail barriers.
4 Industry and logistics:
- Storage shelving: lightweight and durable steel shelving components.
- Construction of industrial equipment: Machine housings and framework.
- Containers and steel packaging: Supporting structures for shipping containers.
5 Energy and photovoltaics:
- Support structures: Racks for photovoltaic panels and solar power systems.
- Towers and masts: Structural elements of power poles and communication masts.
6 Architectural applications:
- Building facades: Profiles as substructure for facade panels.
- Bus shelters and canopies: Lightweight structures for bus shelters, terrace canopies or parking lots.
7 Agriculture:
- Construction of agricultural facilities: Halls, sheds for agricultural machinery, barns.
- Silos and tanks: Structural components of grain or feed tanks.
Cold-formed profiles are popular for their versatility and adaptability to specific project requirements.
