Box Profile

Box profiles are hollow bars of square or rectangular cross-section, also known as square or rectangular pipes. Due to being hollow it tends to be fairly light yet rigid and durable which makes it good for a number of different applications. It is typically made from galvanized steel, but can also be made from other types of metals such as aluminum or stainless steel. The biggest advantage of using box profiles is their structural strength and durability. Box profiles can withstand high loads and resist bending and deformation due to their hollow sections. They are also relatively easy to install and can be cut and shaped into different shapes as needed. Box sections are easy to cut, bend and weld to other connecting structures.

Usage areas

Box profiles are used in a wide variety of applications, including construction, manufacturing and shipping. They are often used for roofing, cladding, flooring, partitions, doors and other structural elements. They are also used in the automotive industry for the manufacture of car bodies and other automotive components. Some of the applications used are as follows:

• On the exteriors of buildings

• Creating columns visually

• Support structures such as roofing

• Railings

• Manufacturing of residential buildings

• Furniture industry

• Automotive industry

• Transport sector, bus, trailer

• Factories, conveyor belts and other devices associated with food processing

• General manufacturing sector

• Agriculture and general machinery production

• Stainless steel profiles are available in square, rectangular and round shapes, welded or seamless. Seamless tubing is used for pressure operations, and welded profiles are used for structural and support applications.

Box Profile Types

There are several types of box profiles, including:

single coating

This type of box profile has a single layer of metal and is typically used for non-load bearing applications such as cladding or lining.

double wall

This type of box profile has two layers of metal and is used for load bearing applications such as roofing or flooring.

Isolated

This type of box profile has an insulating layer between two layers of metal, making it suitable for applications where thermal insulation is required.

Trapeze

This type of box profile has a trapezoidal section and is often used for roofing and cladding.

Corrugated

This type of box profile has a wavy pattern and is used for roofing and cladding and structural applications.

Curved

This type of box profile has a curved cross section and is used for applications where a curved shape is required, such as in silo or tank construction.
