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.
