Structural profiles
Structural Profiles are construction elements, manufactured by the hot rolling process, to support heavy loads. They are open profiles shaped to specific dimensions by heating the rolled billet.

TYPOLOGY
Types of structural profiles
We offer different types of structural profiles, all with parallel flanges and grouped into three types: I-profilesalso called "double T", symmetrical about the main and secondary axes and with a height to width ratio of approximately 2:1. H-profilesThey are symmetrical, but with an approximate ratio of 1:1 between height and width, however, above a certain height the width does not vary. U-profilessymmetrical about their principal axis.
IPE
I" profile with the outer and inner flange faces perpendicular to the web of the beam and with edges at the flange ends. Easier to bolt and to create joints than other I-profiles.
IPN
I" profile in which only the outer face of the flange is perpendicular to the web, the inner face being slightly inclined. It is also characterised by the rounded finish of the inner edges of the flanges of the profiles.
UPN
U-shaped profile with outer face perpendicular to the web and inner faces slightly inclined to the web.
HEB
H" profile with wide flanges, parallel faces with rounded joints between the web and the inner faces of the flanges.
HEA
H" profile with wide flanges, parallel faces with rounded joints between the web and the inner faces of the flanges.
HEM
H" profile with a similar shape to the HEB but as a heavy version with higher thicknesses in both the flanges and the profile web.
