Stainless Steel angle profiles: what they are and what they are used for
17 June 2024
The stainless-steel angle profiles are designed to protect the joint between two vertical walls by eliminating the risks of sharp edges between the claddings.
They are designed with a right angle and are used in a variety of applications, such as in construction to reinforce wall corners, in furniture to ensure stability and strength, or in industry to support structures and machinery.
Stainless angle steel profiles are the solutions that make the difference when deciding to design or renovate a building, be it domestic, industrial, or commercial.
And they can indeed have different characteristics and numerous purposes.
In this article, we will illustrate their main features and focus on customisable stainless steel angle profiles.
What you need to know about stainless steel angle profiles
Stainless steel profiles are designed to protect the joint between two vertical walls, for example, between two ceramic cladding walls. The presence of sharp edges between the claddings could expose the surroundings to considerable risks; the application of a profile, in addition to conferring a greater aesthetic value, has the function of favouring the juxtaposition between the two walls by smoothing the external angle thanks to completely or partially rounded surfaces, depending on the section of the profile.
The choice of the shape of the stainless-steel profiles has a mostly aesthetic value, a thin and limited surface can best suit modern and minimalist living areas, while a more elegant, rounded section finds greater expression in commercial contexts and large spaces where it is the finish of the profile that highlights the details.
The finishes and decorative motifs of stainless-steel angle profiles
Stainless steel angle profiles can have a variety of finishes, which can also be very special, thanks to the decoration processes mainly related to the surface of the material.
This means that angle profiles, from simple building elements, can also become decorative elements, e.g. when combined with high-quality tiles with original decorative motifs. In this case, they are almost imperceptible, as they fully match the surrounding tones and create an effect of continuity between tiles of the same type.
Why stainless steel? Material characteristics
The material properties also make stainless steel profiles suitable for commercial and industrial environments.
Stainless steel is known for its resistance to corrosion and rust.
It is also very light, which makes it easy to transport and agile and simple to use.
In short, stainless steel is chosen for its durability, lightness, and resistance to weathering, making it a reliable choice for applications requiring strength and longevity.
Customised stainless steel angle profiles
Angle profiles can have standard dimensions, which are very numerous and diverse and are divided, in the first instance, between:
- Angle profiles with equal sides.
- Angle profiles with unequal sides.
However, depending on requirements, these standard sizes may not meet specific needs.
In this case, there is the possibility of obtaining customised stainless steel angle profiles, i.e. with different dimensions from the standard ones.
This custom steel channel manufacturing may concern specific lengths or even different thicknesses between flanges and core.
In this case, it is essential to find a manufacturer/reseller who can understand and accommodate the customer’s specific needs.
