Light gauge tubular products or tubular profile is a material made from cold rolled steel sheet, it can be square or rectangular in shape, it is commonly used where support and stability are sought, we find applications of this material in metal structures, railings, handrails, window and door frames.
The tubular profile or light gauge tubular products is a tube that can be square or rectangular, it is made from cold rolled steel sheet, when made in this way it maintains its properties of resistance and durability, they are used in various industries thanks to their ability to adapt to different projects.
• Construction: for the manufacture of railings, scaffolding, pedestrian bridges, handrails, window and door frames.
• Automotive: for the manufacture of automobile parts and protective structures where a light but resistant material is required.
• Furniture maker: to make metal furniture such as shelves, racks, cabinets, tables, chairs, among others.
• Energy: as part of structures or towers in power plant facilities.
• Railway: for the production of railings or handrails in trains or stations.
These are just a few industries, but due to their versatility, tubular profiles are ideal for use in a wide range of applications.
1. Duration and resistance: they have resistance capacity which makes them ideal for supporting loads and in turn makes them a more durable material.
2. Versatility: because there are many calibers, thicknesses and measurements, they can be used for different projects.
3. Lightness: it is a less heavy material compared to others such as concrete, which makes it easier to handle and transport.
4. Paint: we can find it unpainted or painted, the latter providing some protection against corrosion, a more aesthetic finish and requiring minimal maintenance.
5. Less deformation: since it is made of cold rolled steel sheet, it is less likely to suffer any deformation.
6. Quality: this type of profiles are manufactured under the commercial quality standard, so their main quality is essentially the shape or smoothness.
In summary, tubular profiles offer a combination of advantages and characteristics that mean they can be used for a variety of applications.
