Melsteel offers an extensive range of C-shaped (or U-shaped) steel channels, characterized by a flat side and two flanges opening on one side. The depth of these channels is measured across the flat side, or between parallel flanges, and the width is gauged from the flange corner to the opposite open edge. Known for their versatility, steel channels come in various sizes and are predominantly used for structural purposes. At Melsteel, we provide both Channels Primed (PFC) and Galvanised Steel channel to suit diverse project needs.
Enhanced Durability with Primed and Galvanised Steel Channels Priming steel channels enhances their corrosion resistance, with primer applied via brushing, rolling, spraying, or using a spray gun. Galvanised steel channels, offering the combined benefits of steel’s strength and zinc coating’s longevity, are popular in construction.
Compared to other structural steels like universal columns, steel channels offer a lighter, more flexible option. While they may be more susceptible to twisting under certain conditions, their proper use is invaluable in construction projects. Our Melsteel team provides expert guidance on the suitability of steel channels for your specific project.
Applications and Benefits of Steel Channels These channels are ideal for various structural steel applications, given their range of sizes and thicknesses. When integrated with other steel products, they serve multiple purposes:
- Structural floor beams
- Tracking & sliders for doorways
- Trailer frames
- Supports for walls, roofs, windows, and door frames
- Wood beam supports
- Vehicle frames
- Trailers and metal buildings
As a hot-rolled steel product, steel channels feature a vertical web with horizontal top and bottom flanges, available in different sizes and web thicknesses. Their structural strength makes them ideal for frames and bracings, with common applications including beam supports, walls, roofs, vehicle frames, and metal buildings.
