All Types of Rolled Metal and Their Use in the Construction Industry

No sector of the economy can do without metal today

It is metal that is shaped into pipes, reinforcing bars, channels and angles, beams, rounds and squares for further use in construction. There are shaped, sheet, and long products of rolled metal. Roof covering, foundation construction, slab pouring, duct insulation – these and other construction tasks are solved with the right choice of products.

Everything for Construction: How Rolled Metal Is Used

Long rolled metal (squares, rounds, pipes, beams) is used for constructing monolithic reinforced concrete slabs, strengthening walls and brickwork, and building stairs. Reinforcement increases strength, reinforces, withstands high heat and enormous loads.

In water supply, sewerage, and heating systems of private and multi-apartment buildings, commercial buildings, metal pipes are used. They have a protective coating to resist corrosion.

Reinforcement is indispensable in frame-monolithic construction. Partitions and underground structures, metal fences are made from it. Masonry work using gas silicate blocks, foam concrete, and brick also cannot do without this rolled metal. Bonding the entire structure, the frame of the future building, is one of the main functions of reinforcement. Beams reinforce suspended tracks, ceilings, power line supports, and are used in civil and industrial construction.

Use of Sheet and Shaped Rolled Metal

Corrugated sheeting and steel sheets are used in the construction of ceilings, walls and roofs, sectional fences, and utility buildings. Shaped rolled metal includes channels, rails, and angles. They are suitable: for building frame houses – as the main material; improving the thermophysical properties of walls; increasing the durability of private buildings.

Rolled metal protected from corrosion is chosen for construction by commercial organizations and state enterprises. Products made of low-alloy or carbon steel are in demand – hard, strong, and wear-resistant.
