FAQ
What is the 200x60x10mm U-profile used for?
It is commonly used for beam elements, platform supports, stair stringers, bridge girders, walkway substructures, and other long-span structural applications.
How does it compare with steel?
It is substantially lighter than steel while offering good strength and strong corrosion resistance. This makes it easier to handle and install with lower maintenance costs.
Is it suitable for outdoor or marine environments?
Yes. It resists moisture, salt, chemicals, and UV exposure, making it suitable for coastal, marine, and industrial environments.
What is the load capacity?
It has a high moment of inertia and elastic modulus, suitable for long spans with heavy loads. Exact capacity depends on span length and support conditions.
Does it meet building standards?
Yes. It meets CE marking and EN13706 standards for structural pultruded profiles.
How can it be installed?
It can be bolted, clamped, or bonded using stainless steel fasteners or structural adhesives. It is easy to cut and drill with standard tools.
Does it require maintenance?
No routine painting or anti-corrosion treatment is needed. It offers long service life with low maintenance.
Are custom lengths available?
Yes. Standard lengths are 6m and 12m, with custom lengths up to 15m available.
