Metal profile can be called two types of materials - steel sheets profiled for rigidity, and long metal parts used for various purposes in construction and repair.
The first type is most often used for cladding buildings and roofing. This material is made of galvanized steel, for greater security, coated on top with a special, extremely resistant to various kinds of adverse natural effects, polymer composition.
Such sheets are painted in a variety of modern colors and look very aesthetically pleasing. This material is extremely durable, so it would be advisable to use such a metal profile for a fence, a partition device, etc.
Another indisputable advantage of this material is its not too high cost. Thanks to this, it can be a good alternative to such types of finishes as, for example, metal tiles, siding, ondulin, etc. This materialextremely durable, resistant to mechanical and chemical influences. It will perfectly protect the house from rain, snow and other similar adverse events. The installation of a metal profile of this type is also extremely simple.
It will not be difficult even for a novice home master to install panels on walls or mount a roof from this material.
Metal profiles of the second type are used most often as frames for light structures. In addition, this material is used in the installation of drywall, siding and stretch ceilings. Metal profiles in the form of sheets are also mounted on walls using it. This material is considered a very good alternative to wood: beam frames are much less durable and durable. In addition, when raw wood is used, the cladding of the building on the outside can simply lead.
At the moment two types of metal profiles are produced. The material marked "C" is used for cladding industrial and residential buildings. Sometimes it is also used for the manufacture of frames of small structures, mainly of a warehouse type. The second type of "H" - bearing - is more rigid.
It is usually used for low span structures covered with some kind of sheet material that is not very heavy. There is also a combined look marked "CH", which is considered universal and the most popular.
Profiles of the second type can be eithersimply galvanized or additionally painted. On sale you can also find a more expensive type of this material, coated with a polymer layer. Sometimes metal profiles are made not from steel, but from some non-ferrous metal. Aluminum is often used for this purpose. These profiles resist harsh weather conditions much better and look more aesthetically pleasing than regular steel ones, but they are also more expensive.
Metal profiles are currently a truly indispensable material that can be used both as structural and decorative elements. Almost no construction can do without them, because rarely what material can be compared in strength and durability with metal.
