Steel construction profile is the most common name for a group of bent steel profiles such as C, U, Z, omega, angles and other non-standard section shapes. They are united by this common name, since they are most widely used in the construction industry. Our company, «LS Profi», produces a wide range of galvanized steel building profiles up to 3 mm thick by steel strip profiling on roller mills.

The production of building profiles includes such steps as preparing raw materials, rolling profiles, punching holes and cutting to size. As a result of this technological process, profiles with certain geometric cross-section parameters are obtained, which have high strength and resistance to environmental influences. Standard sizes of building profiles are in our catalog, which is posted on the website, but we also produce profiles of non-standard sections and sizes.

Scope of application of the building profiles

Galvanized steel building profiles are used to create building frames in light steel thin-walled structures - LSF. Also, building profiles are widely used for fencing, as a guide profile in a system of suspended ventilated facades, as crossbars and purlins, in ceilings and partitions. A building profile is necessary for installing suspended ceilings; in these works it is called a ceiling profile. From galvanized bent profiles you can assemble floor trusses and rafter systems. It is impossible to do without steel profiles in the production of window and door systems, where this profile acts as a reinforcement and imparts rigidity to the window or door frame. Light steel building profiles are actively used in reconstruction and repair work. Currently, work on the conservation of destroyed objects until they can be repaired is very relevant, and in this work all types of construction bent profiles are used.

Galvanized building profiles have taken a leading place in structures in the energy sector. Ground and roof support structures made of galvanized steel bent profiles for photovoltaic modules are the most universal solution today. In electrical installation work, “U” and “C” shaped perforated profiles are used as trays for laying electrical cables.

Advantages of using steel building profiles

The main benefits of using building profiles are:

• High strength characteristics
• Corrosion resistance due to zinc protective layer
• Relatively light weight
• Easy to transport, can be delivered packed in bundles, or assembled in sections ready for installation
• Ease and convenience of installation, the ability to carry out installation regardless of the time of year
• Long service life of steel building profiles

The disadvantages could include their cost, which is higher than the cost of building profiles made of ferrous metal, but lower weight, less load on the foundation, and the absence of the need for welding work, in general, make their use more profitable.

The quality standards for building profiles are based on standard 8808:2018, which regulates the requirements for all cold-rolled bent building profiles. This standard defines the requirements for the geometric parameters, physical and mechanical properties of the profile.

Prices for construction profiles

depend on several factors, including raw materials, zinc coating class, profile type, its dimensions and specification range. When choosing a manufacturer from whom you are going to buy a construction profile, pay attention to certificates for raw materials, compliance of products with standards and the opportunity to get advice from specialists. Current and accurate information is key when undertaking any construction project, so always check information from reliable sources. Our company “LS Profi” has been producing the entire range of building profiles in the Kyiv region for more than 10 years. Our products have all the necessary certificates and are supplied not only in Ukraine, but also to the European market.
