Stainless Steel Profiles and Their Use in Decoration

What Is a Stainless Steel Profile?

Stainless steel profiles are among the steel products most frequently used in decorative work. Because they combine strength with decorative qualities, their use has spread across a wide range of industries. Stainless steel profiles are produced and sold as welded sections, and they are divided into two groups: hollow profiles and angle profiles.

The areas where stainless steel profiles are most commonly found include:

• The textile industry, in the manufacture of clothing racks, counters and mannequins,
• The automotive industry, in vehicle substructure work,
• The decoration industry, in the production of aesthetic items,
• Almost every area of architecture,
• The electronics and technology sector, in components for computers and electronic devices,
• The furniture industry, in the manufacture of legs and armrests.

These are the most frequent applications of stainless profiles, but there are many others. Kitchens are a good example, and hotel kitchens in particular, where the product's resistance to high temperatures makes it a frequent choice.

A stainless profile is not simply a few metal tubes. Stainless steel profiles are produced in square or rectangular shapes as welded sections, and in terms of form they are a step ahead of other profiles. Shaping work carried out during production gives them an attractive appearance, which is a real convenience for customers in decorative applications. Profiles finished with embossed or leather-grain patterns are preferred by many industries. Because they require no additional painting or shaping, they are also cost-effective, which is why they are used most often in construction and decoration.

So what are the advantages of using stainless steel profiles? Many could be listed, but the essential ones are as follows:

• They are highly effective in decorative applications.
• They are easy to weld, so they can be installed quickly.
• They are an advanced product with high resistance to corrosion.
• Their bright finish gives them a decorative advantage.
• They offer a long service life.
